By now, everyone has seen or at least heard about the show called The Game of Thrones, and we all know and love that one character named The Mountain or Ser Gregor Clegane. Well, those who have not seen him can’t imagine the structure he has, which is why you should definitely look him up. Besides being an actor in one of the best TV shows yet, he is also known as an Icelandic professional strongman and even a former basketball player.  However, even if you knew him as a basketball player, you might not be able to recognize him now!
He began his basketball career in 2004 when he was 2.06 m tall and had about 110 kg, which I snow very hard to imagine. Hafþór Júlíus Bjornsson had a semi-successful basketball career, but it is safe to say that he was always a ‘strongman’, since there was a whole season where he played the matches with a broken ankle, without even knowing that it was broken. Once, in 2008, when he was exercising in a gym, he met a strongman named Magnús Ver Magnússon, who told him that he has a great build to be a strongman himself.
This is one of the main reasons why he decided to try his luck at the strongman career, and needless to say, he was quite successful. He won many awards, but the iconic one was when he took over the title of the World’s Strongest Man after he was able to earn a wild card invitation in 2011. In addition, he was able to beat a 1.000-year-old record that was set by Orm Storolfsson at a competition called the World’s Strongest Wikiing in Norway, where you can see Hafþór Júlíus Bjornsson carry a 10m long and 650kg log for 5 steps.
Many people have wondered how can he stay in shape for so long, and he decided to answer everyone’s questions, as he posted on his Facebook page his daily diet, that needless to say, has shocked everyone. If you are interested in the details of the diet, you should check the original post on his Facebook page, but be warned, without exercise, that diet is nothing. Also, if you are not a fan of meat and eggs, well, we have bad news for you!
In addition, Hafþór Júlíus Bjornsson has recently been seen walking with his girlfriend that makes him seem even bigger than he is. She is not short at all but compared to him, it is safe to say that everyone would look tiny. Nevertheless, even the world’s strongest man has to go shopping sometimes, and as they were seen walking on the street, there is nobody who hasn’t stopped to look at him twice. Especially as Hafþór Júlíus Bjornsson was also wearing a shirt that says “Strong Mother F*****”, which is definitely one of the reasons why people could not take their eyes off of this incredibly odd yet cute couple!
