‘Game of Thrones’ Actor Hafthor Bjornsson Wins Iceland’s Strongest Man Contest for the Fifth Year in a Row

Former Iceland basketball player and strongman competitor Hafthor “Thor” Bjornsson, who is known for playing the part of Gregor Clegane (a.k.a. “The Mountain”) on Game of Thrones, recently won the Iceland’s Strongest Man contest for the fifth year in a row. According to Bjornsson, he is the only person to complete this task. The six-foot-nine giant made the contest look easy as he picked up atlas stones and put them on tall stacks of wooden pallets, carried two different heavy boulders from point A to point B, and deadlifted a very large amount of weight.

We previously wrote about Hafthor when he broke a 1,000-year-old weightlifting record and managed to deadlift over 994 pounds.
