God DAMN. Though I'm sure his Fran time sucks.
Game of Thrones actor who played The Mountain becomes World's Strongest Viking as he smashes 1,000-year-old record by carrying 1,433lbs log

Game of Thrones actor Hafthór 'Thor' Björnsson has broken a 1,000-year-old weight lifting record to become 'The World's Strongest Viking'. The 26-year-old lifted a 30-foot log, weighing 1,433lbs on his shoulders and carried it for five steps during the World's Strongest Viking competition in Norway.

His feat beat the previous record set by a legendary Icelander named Orm Storulfsson, who carried a log that weighed more than 650 kilograms for three steps before his back reportedly broke.
Following his record-breaking lift, Björnsson, whose last name translates to 'Bear's son', posted on his Instagram:'Well, today my friends, I made history!
