The Mountain

He is huge, he is strong and he definitely inspires terror but the Mountain of the books have not been portrayed quite accurately on the show. First of all, the Mountain has been played by three different actors but it is only Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson who has come the closest to the description fo Ser Gregor Clegane in the books and he has been playing the part since season 4. But he was still not quite as large and terrifying as the Mountain of the books. Martin says that “He is almost eight feet tall and must weigh thirty stone, all of it muscle. He fights with a two-handed greatsword but needs only one hand to wield it. He has been known to cut men in half with a single blow. His armor is so heavy that no lesser man could bear the weight, let alone move in it.” Björnsson is 6’9 but we can’t really blame the casting staff for not being able to find an 8ft tall guy, they are hard to come by, right?
