Snoop Dogg was all smiles Friday as he served as the penultimate Olympic torchbearer, carrying the flame through Paris and frequently gazing up at its majesty.
Snoop was originally announced as the Olympic torchbearer earlier this week, and his journey would take place in the Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis, passing by the Stade de France, the new Olympic Aquatics Centre, and a section of the Olympic Village. As you can imagine, the rapper was greeted with plenty of cheers from Parisian fans who watched Snoop carry the torch.
