AceShowbiz - "Game of Thrones" actor and strongman Hafthor Bjornsson broke the deadlift world record during his livestream event on Saturday, May 02.
The star, who played "The Mountain" in the hit HBO fantasy series, successfully managed a 501 kilogram (1102 pounds) deadlift as part of the World's Ultimate Strongman Competition.
In completing the challenge, the star beat the previous record set by Eddie Hall, who previously lifted 500 kilograms (1100 pounds).
While Bjornsson triumphed over his peer, their rivalry continues, and he's now suggested he and Hall take the ring for a boxing match, according to TMZ.
The publication reported Hall has already responded, saying he will "1,000 percent (sic) sign those papers," while going on to explain it's not for money or glory - but to teach Bjornsson a lesson, after he apparently called him a cheat at a competition they both previously took part in.
