He is nothing like a real human. He looks just like a giant character from one of those kiddies storybooks. Little wonder why he is called “The Mountain”.
The mountain that rides!
Big, strong, and brawny, the Iceland-born Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson became ‘Europe’s Strongest Man,’ a title he won earlier in the week. This victory comes on the back of his success with setting ‘deadlift record’ and also clinching the ‘Arnold Strongman Classic’ award for 2018.
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is an actor, professional strongman and was a basketball player at a time. His alias ‘the mountain’ is from his role in the HBO blockbuster series ‘Game of Thrones.’
Again, he was the winner of this week’s ‘Manliest Moments,’ an award put together by Men’sHealth immediately after winning Europe’s Strongest Man award.
His triumph across Europe was a factor to his clinching the ‘Manliest Moments’ spot. But you can’t takeaway the fact that his almost unreal power exhibition got everyone mesmerized. How can a single human lift several hundred-pound boulders without even breaking a sweat!
