The Best Father’s Day Gifts, According to Hafthor Bjornsson, AKA The Mountain From HBO’s Game of Thrones

He is known around the globe by many names. These include Iceland’s Strongest Man, Europe’s Strongest Man, World’s Strongest Man, and Ser Gregor Clegane/The Mountain on HBO’s Game of Thrones. Some even call him Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (or Hafthor Bjornsson, in the Anglicized spelling), because that’s the name of the man who has broken world record deadlifts (1,105 lbs.), played a starring role on one of the world’s most beloved shows, and who has held more strongman titles than you could fit on a barbell.

But only a select few can call Hafthor by perhaps his most important title of all, which, in his native Icelandic, is “pabbi,” or, in English, dad.

Expecting his second child later this year, Hafthor is already experienced in his dad role, and of course has a lifetime of experience as a son looking up to his 6’8″ father and 6’9″ grandfather. Perhaps it’s little surprise that when we asked this mighty man for Father’s Day gift ideas, most of his suggestions were all about muscle.

Hafthor was too modest to suggest it himself, but we’re pretty confident pop will be thrilled with all eight seasons of this stunningly good show, especially if he’s stuck home more this summer.
