Hafþor Björnsson

The photos of Haftor Bjornsson's Instagram, which has more than 1 million followers on the page, can be very surprising or even frightening. The contender for the title of World's Strongest Man really amazes with its dimensions, and the Iron Arnie to him only up to the shoulder. Until recently, the world's strongest Viking shone on the sports arena, and in 2014 began to win movie screens.

Haftor Julius Bjornsson is An Icelandic, born in the capital of the island nation of Reykjavik in November 1988. The rich in the family - heredity, father and grandfather of the athlete and actor also height above 2 meters.

In his youth about a career in the cinema star of power extreme and did not think. In addition to attending Braidholt College, Haftor played basketball as a center for FSu Selfoss basketbal and K.R. Basket Reykjavik, a fan of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan.

In 2006, after suffering a knee injury, Bjornsson changed the vector of sports biography and switched to power sports, in particular the popular powerlifting. Pushed the guy to this countryman, four-time winner of the title of the strongest man in the world Magnus Wer Magnusson, who noted the makings of a guy who just pulled "iron" in the gym. The champion invited Haftor to his own hall "Giant's Nest" and made a training program for the student, which radically changed the appearance of that.

Before moving into the professional category, Haftor won the title of first strongman in his homeland three times. In official competitions, recognized by international federations, he began to participate in 2011, starting with the top six in the tournament "The strongest man on the planet." Since 2014, Bjornsson has no equal in a similar championship of the European continent.

The main sporting achievement Haftor considers the broken record of the famous Viking Orm Storolfsson, which is rumored to have lasted 1000 years. Orme dragged a log 10 meters long and weighing 650 kg on 3 steps. In January 2015, Bjornsson took two more steps at the competition in Norway.

In the same year, strongman held a comic sparring with mixed martial arts champion Conor McGregor. According to the actor, he had a lot of fun, and if the fight was serious, "I would just crush Conor, bury him."

Haftor tried to compete with the legend of armwrestling, world champion Devon Larratt. Despite the fact that the opponent was twice as easy, Bjornsson lost, than once again proved that the power extreme and wrestling on his hands - sports that impose completely different requirements on athletes.

In 2013, the giant, who is 206cm tall and weighs up to 200kg in a competitive period, caught the attention of game of thrones producers. In addition to physical data, Haftor liked the fact that perfectly moved on the site. And finally the candidate "finished" the film crew when he raised the hand of one of its members. Later, the actor admitted that children and women at the meeting often ask to do such a trick, and joked that to lower to the ground liked girls do not want.

The character of the Icelander - Grigor Kligan, but much more he corresponded to the nickname Gore. The first performers of this role were no less impressive Australian Conan Stevens and British basketball player Ian White, who appeared in "Alien vs. Predator" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". In the film, Bjornsson wields a 165 cm sword, which is equal to the height of actress Rina Headey, who plays Cersei.

According to the script, Cligan has a younger brother. This image stars Scottish actor Rory McCann. At the same time, the "relative" is 20 years older than Haftor.

Bjornsson does not talk about life outside sports platforms and film sets, but he does not shy away from questions. In an interview, the actor said that he has a daughter, but the girl's mother is not his wife. In 2017, Haftor struck up an affair with Canadian Kelsey Henson. The already petite girl 155 cm tall next to her lover looks like a child, which gives rise to a lot of jokes. If the followers go beyond decency, the athlete sends them to the ban.

Bjornsson has repeatedly said that he puts a healthy lifestyle first. The athlete takes food every 2 hours and consumes up to 8-10 thousand. calories a day, daily engaged in the gym. Having a place to train is a must in the star rider. From alcohol Haftor allows "a glass of red wine twice a year."

The athlete has a point: having such a large weight, he is afraid of getting injured and is sensitive to his own body. However, I could not resist the temptation to decorate it with tattoos.

The actor's preferred style of music is heavy metal, which, in general, is common among strongmen. And at home at Bjornsson lives a tiny favorite - a dog breed Pomeranian Spitz named Asterix.

In 2017, the Icelandic actor, along with Fedor Emelianenko, Sergey Badyuk and Denis Gusev, became the guest of honor at the V International Festival of Sports and Healthy Lifestyle SN Pro, held in Russia. The event hosted bodybuilding competitions, sports equipment, food and clothing exhibitions.

2018 was a successful year for the northern hero. Haftor won three tournaments of the strongest men on the planet - World's Strongest Man, Arnold Strongman Classic and Europe's Strongest Man. But in terms of entertainment contests are not inferior to circus performances.

In the first, Bjornsson performed a classic set of exercises - squat, press and cravings. The figures were 440, 230 and 472 kg, respectively. Videos of previous victories can be found in the athlete's Twitter account. However, world records cost Haftor dearly: in 2017 he was diagnosed with Bell's palsy - a still part of his face and not fully opened one eye.

Cinematic novelty of the strongman - action movie "Kickboxer returns" with the participation of sports celebrities Mike Tyson and Ronaldinho.

On Instagram, the killer's co-star, Elia Martell, almost talked about how the Game of Thrones storyline would develop. Bjornsson's social media page posted a comment that, unfortunately, the favorite scene from the series is not yet available to "mere mortals." Subscribers rushed to conclude that the Mountain is waiting for a sad end.
