Hafthor Björnsson has stepped into the spotlight in recent moments, given the ever-rising tension between him and Eddie Hall, and of course, their upcoming boxing fight.
The professional strongman was crowned the World’s Strongest Viking in Norway in 2015, after carrying a 10-metre long log for five steps - beating a 1,000-year-old record in the country.
Thor also famously played the role of Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Clegane in the fourth season of HBO’s Game of Thrones in 2013, his first acting role.
In May 2020, the heavyweight athlete deadlifted a record-breaking 501 kg under World’s Strongest Man rules, beating Eddie Hall’s previous record of 500 kg.
