See GAME OF THRONES' The Mountain Shockingly Lose an Arm Wrestling Match
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, the 28-year-old actor who's played Cersei Lannister's hulking bodyguard "The Mountain" on Game of Thrones for the past few years, is one of the strongest men in the world. You've probably seen videos of his feats of strength make their way across the internet, but here's something I never thought I'd see: Björnsson in a shocking loss in an arm wrestling competition.
Granted, his opponent does happen to be two-time World Arm Wrestling League champion Devon Larratt, but considering the height and weight differential between these two guys (the specs appear in the video), I still would have put money on The Mountain to take it down. But it appears that while Björnsson may be stronger overall, specialization has its advantages. Now Larratt will be able to put "bested The Mountain in arm wrestling" in his bio, and that's priceless.
