The strongest man in Westeros is now also the strongest man in Europe. Hafþór "Thor" Björnsson—who plays Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane on Game of Thrones—lifted more heavy things than his opponents at a competition in Leeds, England earlier this month to claim the title of Europe's Strongest Man 2014.

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is purely villainous as The Mountain, Game of Thrones' skull-crushing id, but he's a much gentler giant offscreen. When he's not dominating international strongman competitions, the 6'9" Björnsson finds time to dress up as the Hulk to terrify and delight little kids.
