The impressive Icelander Hafsor Július Björnsson, who plays Gregor Clegane aka The Mountain in Game of Thrones, is first and foremost an athlete (200kg, over 2m tall beautiful kid) who has been training in strength sports for several years. A very physical activity that is not without risk…
During a recent weightlifting practice, Hafsor Julius Björnsson, who was trying to bench press a little over 250 kilograms, suffered a severe chest injury. The scene was filmed and it’s impressive: we literally see the muscle explode, which logically causes the 34-year-old Scandinavian to scream.
Hafsor Julius Björnsson shared a photo of the injury on the social network. And the hematoma, clearly visible, confirms the extent of the damage. However, the Icelander gave fans some reassuring news…
“Thank you all for the support, kind messages and love that has been given during this difficult time”Hafsor Julius Björnsson says. “It means a lot to me. It’s just a test and a little setback. I’ll come back stronger.”
