After leaving the Strongman sport, Bjornsson did not spend much time before delving into the boxing world and training for his match against Eddie Hall. The strongman did not give his body a break and said that this “was probably not the smartest move” he made. “I just went into some depression and just like low time for a moment, which is understandable when you put your body through so much, and you don’t give yourself some time to just relax and recover,” he said.

However, despite all of this, the Game of Thrones actor continues to ensure that he gives his best in everything that he does. What do you think of his resilience? Let us know in the comments below.
