Bonner Bolton  

World Champion Professional Bull Rider and Model

Bonner Bolton (born June 1, 1987 Odessa, Texas) is a world champion professional bull rider and model. Bolton won his first bull riding world title at age 20.

Bolton was Scott Eastwood's stunt double in the film The Longest Ride.

In January 2016, Bolton suffered a broken C-2 vertebra after being bucked off the back of a bull and landing on his head. He was initially paralyzed from the neck down, but regained feeling within hours. He later underwent spinal fusion surgery and doctors inserted a metal brace around the broken vertebrae.

In 2015, photographer Cass Bird took portraits of the bull riders at the world championship, and Bolton’s look caught the eye of IMG Models. Bolton signed with IMG in May 2016. He has posed for Saks Fifth Avenue, Br4ss underwear, and Boot Barn.

On March 1, 2017, Bolton was announced as one of the celebrity contestants to compete on the twenty-fourth season of Dancing with the Stars and is partnered with Sharna Burgess.
