Amadou Diallo, known as “Lastic Boy,” delivered a jaw-dropping performance during the Season 20 premiere of America’s Got Talent (AGT) in 2025. Hailing from Guinea and now residing in Columbus, Ohio, Amadou showcased his extraordinary contortion abilities, leaving both the judges and audience in awe. His act, described as “bone rupture and contortion dance,” combined fluid movements with seemingly impossible body twists, captivating everyone in the theater.
The judges’ reactions were a mix of astonishment and disbelief. Sofia Vergara exclaimed, “I mean, we’ve seen a lot of contortionism in this show, but he took it to another level.” Howie Mandel added, “He had me put my hand on his shoulder. I could feel his bone come out of the socket!” Simon Cowell remarked, “I genuinely have never seen that in my life, ever.” The unanimous sentiment was clear: Amadou’s performance was unlike anything they’d witnessed before.
Amadou’s journey to the AGT stage is as inspiring as his performance. Having moved to the United States just a year prior, he juggled two jobs while honing his craft. His dedication and passion were evident as he shared his dream of performing on the AGT stage, stating, “It is my dream.” His story resonated with many, highlighting the power of perseverance and ambition.
The audience’s reaction mirrored the judges’ astonishment. Gasps, cheers, and standing ovations punctuated his performance, underscoring the impact of his talent.
