There ’s no motion thatGame of Thrones ’s last season will be activeness - packed . But Iceland native Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson , who play Gregor " The Mountain " Clegane in theTV series , recently confirmed just how much more hardcore the upcoming episodes will be .
In a recent consultation withMashable , Björnsson serve up on the final season ( as much as an worker sworn to secrecycandish about a show ) . Though he could n’t reveal any really juicy details , he did run out a very interesting man of information about The Mountain . According to the 30 - yr - old strongman , the final time of year was " the punishing season I ’ve filmed forGame Of Thrones . "
motion-picture photography get so complicated that , for the first time in his four season on the show , Björnsson needed a stunt twice to play The Mountain .
“ All the season prior to this time of year that we just finished filming , I never had stunt doubles . I always did everything myself , " Björnsson said . " But the last season I take , the time of year that has n’t been show on telly , I had a stunt double there . "
Though fan certainly wanted to hear more about the scene ( or scenes ) that required a stunt duple for the actor , Björnsson — much like The Mountain — didn’t budge . “ I ca n’t go into item … but I had a stunt double there I can tell you that , ” he allege . " He was self-aggrandizing . He was tall , not as muscular . "
It could n’t have been gentle for the show ’s producer to feel a match for Björnsson , who is a professional strongman when he ’s not move . He stands 6 feet 9 inch tall , and presently hold the title of " World ’s Strongest Man . "
As Björnsson has never needed a stunt double before , we ca n’t help but wonder what on the button happen to The Mountain in time of year 8 . We ’ll be looking onward to finding out whenGame of Thronesreturns on April 14 , 2019 .
