During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, 2018 World’s Strongest Man and The Mountain in Game of Thrones Hafthor Bjornsson commented on once considering a run in WWE and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On once considering a WWE run: “I already considered it. They did come to me. I saw the facility and I met the people there, but at that time, I was already acting in Game of Thrones. I was already successful in strongman competitions and doing different jobs. I wanted to finish my goal and become the world’s strongest man. That’s the same reason I haven’t been taking more acting roles. Right now, I want to do at least one more year of strong man to show the world that I am the strongest man in the world.”
On keeping his options open: “I am keeping my options open. But I want to do some more movies, challenging myself in that area, and try to be the best actor I can possibly be.”
