The last time we saw Gregor Clegane — better known as "The Mountain" — he was falling to his death from the Red Keep, pushed through a crumbling wall in an act of suicide by his brother, Sandor "The Hound" Clegane. But Hafthor Bjornsson, the
Actor who played the elder Clegane in five seasons of HBO's
Game of Thrones, made a thrilling return this weekend that would have made even The Mountain quake in his armor,
ESPN reports. On Saturday, Bjornsson managed to deadlift 501 kilograms, or about 1104.5 pounds, on his third attempt,
BREAKING the world record. For comparison, that's about the equivalent of lifting a large polar bear, or a small moose.The 31-year-old Icelander — who has his own nickname, "Thor" — stands an intimidating 6 foot 9 inches and weighs 425 pounds, and won the World's Strongest Man competition back in 2018. The previous deadlift world record, of 500 kilograms or 1,102.31 pounds, was set in 2016 by Eddie Hall. Watch Bjornsson's lift, below.
