The Mountain From ‘Game Of Thrones’ Is Officially The World’s Strongest Man IRL Too!

Not surprisingly, 29-year-old, Björnsson, who stands tall at 6’9” and weighs about 180 kg, stood first and took home the prestigious mantle of the world’s strongest man.

Westeros’ strongest man also happens to be the strongest man in our world!

This Sunday, actor, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, famously known as the terrifying Gregor Clegane or ‘The Mountain’ from Game of Thrones took part in the annual ‘World’s Strongest Man’ competition held in Manila, Philippines.

Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can’t do something themselves, they are going to tell you that you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period. • -Will Smith • #numberone • 📸 @andrimarinn

Prior to his victory in Manila, Björnsson also won two other titles — the Arnold Strongman Classic and Europe’s Strongest Man. And after this win, he’s officially the first person to win all three titles within a year.

4 times Europe’s Strongest Man! I’m on a mission and no one is stopping me! 2/3✔️ • 📸 @andrimarinn • EuropesStrongestMan2018 @thorspowergym @australianstrengthcoach @stanefferding @stefansolvi @andrimarinn @andrireyr @kelc33 @sbdapparel @roguefitness

Apart from this, Björnsson also broke a 1000-year-old log carrying record, which made him the World’s Strongest Viking. He also currently holds the world record for the heaviest deadlift at 473 kg.

Running with 150kg/330lb sandbag like nothing. Tag your friends that would like to be carried by me! Maybe 2-3 girls at the same time!? 🤷🏻‍♂️
