Hafthor Bjornsso, also known as Gregor Clegane or ‘The Mountain’ in Game of Thrones, officially became Europe’s Strongest Man, earlier this month.
Game of Thrones writer George RR Martin has filled the fantasy world with irredeemable characters and Hafthor who plays the abovesaid role may just be the worst — the murderous knight has been the one behind some of the most shocking moments in the hit TV series and the GOT novels.
If you get a chance to watch the video showing how he accepted the top prize, you’ll feel a little bit sorrier for the characters in the show. ‘The Mountain’ made his way through the competition by winning the first prize in three different events, according to the Huffington Post. However, the turning point was when he completed a stone-lifting challenge. He completely brushed his opponents aside in the Europe’s Strongest Man tournament and after placing the final stone, the 6’9 Icelander ripped off his shirt as he yelled out saying, “I am the future of strength as I am King of the Stones!”

I thought the actor (Hafthor Bjornsso) was already the strongest man, even before he got the role of The Mountain in the series. :)
