Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, the 30-year-old 6 feet 9-inch actor who weighs 400 pounds plays the role of The Mountain in Game Of Thrones. And it was absolutely funny when the actor shared a picture of himself on Instagram where he was seen enjoying some hot chocolate topped with cream with his wife Kelsey Henson. The couple was seen holding the regular sized mugs of hot chocolate in the snowy outdoors. He captioned the picture, “who’s jealous?”.

Initially, people confused the regular sized mug with a toy. The Internet was aroused by how the massive hands made the mug seem so minute. The mug was only about the size of the actor’s fist so we can presume that he got only a bite or two from it.

However, the Game Of Thrones actor was forced to change his career due to injury. Hafþór’s companion Magnus Ver Magnusson persuaded him to join the strongman contests. He won the 2011 Strongest Man in Iceland contest and Iceland’s Strongest Man contest. The actor broke the major record in the year 2015 when he joined the World’s Strongest Viking competition held in Norway.
