Hafthor Bjornsson, the 2018 World’s Strongest Man, spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated recently. During the interview, he revealed that he considered a run with the WWE and the possibility of a match between he and current WWE superstar and former strongman, Braun Strowman. Here are the highlights:
BJornsson On The Potential Of A WWE Run & Match With Braun Strowman:
I already considered it. They did come to me. I saw the facility and I met the people there, but at that time, I was already acting in Game of Thrones. I was already successful in strongman competitions and doing different jobs.
I wanted to finish my goal and become the world’s strongest man. That’s the same reason I haven’t been taking more acting roles. Right now, I want to do at least one more year of strong man to show the world that I am the strongest man in the world.
I am keeping my options open. But I want to do some more movies, challenging myself in that area, and try to be the best actor I can possibly be.
Happy to host @ThorBjornsson_ at @WWENXT this week. #TheMountain @GameOfThrones @WWE https://t.co/hJt8Fwnrcr pic.twitter.com/XKFXaCNXjX
