Hafthor Bjornsson _ the Icelandic weightlifter who played Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane on "Game of Thrones" _ broke the deadlift world record on Saturday. He lifted 501 kilograms (1,104.52 pounds), breaking the previous world record by a kilogram. The record dated back to 2016.
His Game of Thrones character died and was resurrected as a tough named "Robert Strong." In real life, Bjornsson is one of the best weightlifters on the planet. The 6-9, 425-pound Bjornsson won the "World's Strongest Man" title in 2018.
"I believe today I could've done more, but what's the point?" he said Saturday after breaking the record in Iceland.
