As if his back-to-back wins in the Europes Strongest Man competition did not already clue you in to this fact, heres your daily reminder that Hafthor Bjornsson better known to Game of Thrones fans as Gregor The Mountain That Rides Clegane is capable of some staggering feats of strength.
In the video above, Bjornsson can be seen breaking his own world record (of course) by grabbing a 33-pound keg and tossing it an amazing 24 feet, 6 inches into the air. Why? Well, when youve already deadlifted 990 pounds and bested millennium-old Viking physical challenges youre probably looking for ways to challenge yourself. Also, were going to assume his sparring partner, UFC champ Conor McGregor, was busy or something. Dude does have a fight to train for.
After competing his record-setting toss, Bjornsson thrusts his finger in the air and contemplates pulling off a back flip though instead, he opts to grab a guy with a microphone and sling him over his shoulder before triumphantly blowing kisses to the crowd. At least he didnt crush anyones skull this time.
Game of Thrones sixth season is set to premiere in April and Bjornsson will presumably be back, too. Only this time, he wont be playing Clegane; but rather the zombiefied Ser Robert Strong, who is most definitely scarier than the Mountain and has vowed not to speak until all of Queen Cerseis enemies have been vanquished. No word on whether hes also given up keg tossing.
