AGT All-Stars winner Aidan Bryant parents Pam Bennett Cutrona and Darrin Bennett helped him practice aerobatics from an early age.
Aidan Bryant from Prince George, Virginia has recently been crowned the title after defeating Avery Dixon.
The 18-year-old is no stranger to performing on America Got Talent stage as he was on season 16 of the original series in 2021.
Bryant was accompanied by British rock band Queen’s frontman Adam Lambert and The Bello Sisters on his final performance on the stage on February 27, 2023.
His acrobatics high up in the theater not just wowed the judges and audiences but also put chills down the spine of anyone watching.
After being crowned the best among the bests, Aidan received a cash prize worth $500k by winning the competition, reports Mirror.
Moreover, he also won the hearts of millions and opened several doors of opportunities for his career ahead. Not to mention the exclusive Trophy.
Most important of all, Aidan has not let the years of struggle and support from his father and mother go in vain with his recent victory.
Aidan Bryant Parents Support His Aerial Stunts
Aidan Bryant parents Pam and Darrin Bennett helped him get suspended to a tree during practice for years. Pam brought his first silk as a Christmas gift.
Bryant started his career in his family backyard in Prince George, Virginia, at the age of 14 years old. He was inspired into starting aerial stunts after watching Pink perform her signature moves onstage on YouTube.
Aidan grabbed his grandmother’s bedsheet and started to hang himself to a tree in their backyard practicing moves to become an aerialist. The entirely self-taught aerialist received his first silk, the nylon cloth used by aerialists to suspend themself in the air, as a Christmas gift. With enough support from his family, Bryant has not looked back since.
His Mother Pam Cutrona Bennett
Aidan Bryant mother Pam Cutrona Bennett is also working as a manager for the aerialist.
Pam has been the fundamental support for Aidan since the beginning of his practice at the age of 14 years old. She would help him get high-up suspended to a tree.
Aidan would attach a rope in front of the golf cart and looped it through the highest branch of the tree which carried him to the top as Pam drove the cart away, slowly.
The mother-son duo continued this complex technique until the AGT winner finally got the metal apparatus to practice with.
Pam accompanied her son to Hollywood, California, once he had secured an in-person audition on AGT season 16 after he got through the video audition round.
Aidan’s mom describes her son as an entrepreneur, rather than an athlete. According to Richmond, Aidan would make rainbow loom bracelets to sell in the farmer’s market and homemade lamps to sell at craft shows and markets to fund his passion for aerial.
His Father Darrin Bennett
Darrin Bennett does not share much of his son’s spotlight. He keeps a fair distance from the press and media as well.
According to Pam’s Facebook bio, Pam Cutrona Bennett is her married name but her son’s name is Aidan Bryant suggesting Darrin might be his stepfather. However, no one has confirmed yet apart from the subtle clue left on social media.
Regardless, Darrin and Aidan get along really well. The duo is seen sharing pictures together on holidays and other special occasions through Pam’s Instagram account.
Darrin is also found on Instagram with his username @darrin.bennett.3, but he has not shared any posts with his 59 followers on the social media account. He also drove Aidan around during their local Christmas parade after securing the second position in AGT in 2021.
Aidan Bryant Brother Is Colton Bryant
Aidan Bryant brother Colton Bryant is a photographer. Colton is also a car enthusiast and often shares images of high-raised SUVs on his social media.
Colton is found on Instagram with his username @coltonbryantt where he boasts 1.6k followers. He has shared 40 posts with his followers on the social media account, he mostly shares images of SUVs and his vacations on the picture-sharing social media account.
Aidan’s older sibling Colton is 21 years old. He celebrates his birthday on May 11 every year and was born in 2001. Pam shared an image collage to celebrate Colton’s 21st birthday last year saying he was legally an adult now.
As per his photography career, Colton has received picture credits from his All-Star winner younger sibling on Instagram on various occasions. However, information about his professional photography career is yet to come into the spotlight.
The Aerialist Is Elite Among The Elites
Aidan won America Got Talent All-Stars beating over 40 other competitors. He walks away with half a million dollars and a huge trophy as a winner.
All the hard work and patience from the aerialist and his family paid off when Aidan won the first series of AGT’s spinoff All-Stars. He also became the first aerialist to win on the AGT franchise with his recent victory.
His final performance was breathtaking, both for the audience and the judges. With seemingly easy but super difficult moves high up in the air without a safety net, there were definitely some chills down the spinal cord of people watching his performance.
Aidan competed with other former winners, finalists, and fan favorites of the AGT show. He performed alongside the British rock band Queen’s frontman Adam Lambert. Other performers were Ana-Maria Mărgean with guest artist Terry Fator and Aidan McCann with Mat Franco as grand finalists.
However, the aerialist had his career straight even before joining the AGT All-Stars and winning the series. He currently works with Cirque du Soleil based in Las Vegas and has traveled around North America with his troupe performing in different parts of the continent.
