The Mountain kicks ass IRL
The Mountain from ‘Game of Thrones’ wins Europe’s Strongest Man 2014
When we last saw Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, he was smushing some Oberyn Martell face in his role as Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane on “Game of Thrones.” The 6-foot-9, 420-pound Iceland native is also a pretty big deal on the strongman circuit, and earlier this month he won the Europe’s Strongest Man contest in Leeds, England.
But he didn’t just win the contest. He owned it, celebrating his victory in some sort of stone-depositing event by tearing off his shirt and bellowing, “I AM THE FUTURE OF STRENGTH, AS I AM THE KING OF THE STONES.”
And thus, “Roll Tide” was dethroned as the World’s Greatest Exclamatory Non-Sequitur.
That said, the Mountain is a really nice chap IRL...
