‘Game of Thrones’ season 6 actor smashes another strength record

Just in case there was any real doubt before now that “Game of Thrones” star Hafþór Björnsson was anything other than a monster among men, the video below should shut all of them up. It better, since otherwise there is a pretty clear reason to be afraid.

In the video below, you can see the athlete / professional strongmen set yet another record in his field: A keg toss. As the description for the video below explains, Björnsson throws a 15kg keg more than seven meters in the air. Pretty stunning. For those interested in American conversions, that is around a 33-pound keg getting tossed 25 feet. It’s pretty crazy, especially since this is one of those super-crazy stunts that need no special effects at all to enjoy.

Are we going to see the man return to HBO as The Mountain on the upcoming sixth season? We certainly hope so; while he is not a major character, his revival is one of the more shocking sequences that we have seen through six seasons so far. He seems to be even more singular-minded than ever before, and be a tool that House Lannister can use however they choose. This certainly spells danger for every other character who could cross the family.

As for when the sixth season of the show is going to be premiering, think along the lines of the spring. We’re probably going to have some more news on the subject over the next couple of months. There’s really no needs for HBO to make a hasty announcement.
