Hafthor Bjornsson set a world record in the deadlift on Saturday, hoisting 501 kilograms (1104.52 pounds).
The 31-year-old set the record in his native Iceland.
Known as "Thor," the 6-foot-9, 425-pound Bjornsson broke the
previous record of 500 kilograms (1,102.31 pounds), set by England's Eddie Hall
in 2016.
Bjornsson is best known for his role as "The Mountain" Gregor
Clegane in the HBO series "Game of Thrones."
He won the World's Strongest Man competition in 2018 and has finished
third or better every year since 2012.
Ahead of the lift, Thor said:
“I knew I was in great shape, and when you’re trying to train yourself for
something big like that, it’s very difficult on the body. So I thought of just
hosting a show. If we could stream it live, people would love that, they could
be excited for something.
When things get a lot of attention, there’s always going to be some
negativity. People are saying that this needs to be done in a competition – I
wish I could do it in a competition, but I can’t control this situation, so I’m
trying to do the best I can.”
