GAME of Thrones star Hafthor Bjornsson squatted an "extremely light" 270kg, leaving fans stunned.
The Icelandic beast, who is 6ft8in tall and weights nearly 23 stone, was once strongman’s number one star after winning World’s Strongest Man in 2018.
He decided to try his hand in boxing and got off to a barn-storming start, KO'ing rival Eddie Hall last year.
Bjornsson then declared he was retiring in order to assess his future options.

After squatting what he calls an "extremely light" 270kg, Bjornsson has declared his intent to set a new raw powerlifting world-record.
