It is possible for someone’s greatest strength to be turned into a hilarious setback. Hafthor Bjornsson shared the moment on his Instagram story yesterday, causing fans to laugh. The Mountain has apparently been seen taking a mirror selfie that fails to accommodate his enormous body!
It is no wonder that Game of Thrones starred Bjornsson as The Mountain. As he tears up violent scenes on screen, one can only imagine the magnitude of his size. However, such a massive physique comes with a lot of quirks. So, what happened this time around?
The disadvantage of being 6’9″ tall shared by Hafthor Bjornsson
There might be some fans who get fascinated by Hafthor Bjornsson’s ridiculous height and physique, but that isn’t the case with him. The Mountain has his own disadvantages when it comes to living in an ordinary life wherein everything is designed for an average-sized person. Hafhor shared a funny picture on his Instagram story showing him standing in front of a decent-sized mirror. However, Haftor’s appearance did not fit in.
By clicking a picture of the inconvenience, Hafthor explained the situation to his fans. The caption of the photo read, “They don’t make mirrors for tall people.” Even though Hafthor’s height might be a source of fascination to his fans, it is a common occurrence since he comes from a giant family. Hafthor’s father is 6 ft 8 in, and his grandfather is of the same height as his father and Hathor’s father.
The height difference between Hafthor and Kelsey Henson is approximately 19 inches, which might seem surprising to many. His wife, a lifestyle and fitness blogger, has a height of 5ft 2 in. The strongman-fitness blogger duo met at a bar in 2017 and then got married.

Despite the occasional inconvenience of height, Hafthor enjoys the stardom that comes with being one of the world’s greatest strongmen.
Hafthor has a huge physique. How did he achieve that?
In order to gain the physique for which Hafthor Bjornsson is famous today, he adapted to an unusual diet. The dietary intake might be intense for someone 6ft 9 inches tall. An interview with the 34-year-old revealed his diet that won him the World’s Strongest Man title in 2018.
Hafthor stated,“I basically ate everything. Pizza, Pasta — anything to make myself bigger.” However, he also worked out three times a day, which explains why he did not gain any weight. Over the years, he developed this lifestyle choice.
