VIDEO: The Mountain from Game of Thrones carries two fridges like a bit of heavy shopping

What a beast

Tony Cuddihy

We’ve told you before about the incredible power of Hafthor Julius Bjornsson.

While he hasn’t always been so huge, the 6ft 9in, 420lb Icelandic giant is well-known as a beast since his turn as Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Clegane in Game of Thrones.

‘Thor’ showed off his strength again during a recent world record attempt, as he went up against the winner of the 2014 World’s Strongest Man tournament, Lithuanian Zydrunas Savickas. The two competed to see who was faster over a distance of 20 metres – while carrying two fridges with a combined weight of 992lbs.

Although Savickas had to pause just short of the line, it was a different story for the 27-year-old Bjornsson.

Like an absolute boss man…
