Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, best known as Gregor Clegane or “The Mountain” in “Game of Thrones”, is showing off his strength in KFC’s latest ad.
Dressed as the fast food chicken chain’s founder Colonel Sanders, the 29-year-old Icelandic actor, who is currently the World’s Strongest Man, takes part in a world-record sandwich pull of KFC’s new Double Crispy Colonel Sandwich.
For the challenge, Bjornsson was asked to pull an estimated 700-pounds worth of sandwiches 50 metres across a stage floor.
“Let the doubling begin!” the actor and strongman proclaims before pulling the giant box of sandwiches towards him with apparent ease.

The role of Sanders, which was most recently portrayed by country music star Reba McEntire, marks a stark shift away from Bjornsson’s current role in HBO’s “Game of Thrones”, where he typically appears sombre while answering to the demands of Cersei Lannister.
The eighth and final season of “Game of Thrones” is expected to air in 2019.
