Gregor Clegane, The Mountain from Game of Thrones, is not just a fearsome warrior on the screen.

He is also, officially, one of the strongest people on the planet.

Icelandic strongman Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (who plays Clegane) recently broke the all-time deadlift record, lifting an unbelievable 505kg.

“It is like lifting a baby grand piano.”

– Barbara Friedman

This broke the previous world record of 501kg, also set by himself.
