Hafthor Bjornsson and Brian Shaw are two of the most celebrated and renowned bodybuilders in the world of Strongmen. Regarded for their exceptionally massive size and unmatchable feats of strength, both legends have managed to etch their names and are unparalleled forces in the annals of bodybuilding.

While Brian Shaw has managed to acquire the title of the World’s Strongest Man four times, Hafthor Bjornsson has earned several other prestigious titles. Shaw retired this year, and Bjornsson continues to carry on, but as it turns out, the Game of Thrones star still feels inferior in front of the retired Strongman.

However, when asked about how he has been doing by the host himself, Hafthor Bjornsson, amazed at the size of Brian Shaw, even after retirement, replied in awe, “I’m good but I just feel so small next to you man, what is going on?” Brian Shaw, being the humble person that he is, instantly dismissed his thought and put logic behind it.
