Hafthor Bjornsson has an awkward flight experience

Hafthor played the role of ‘The Mountain’ on the popular television series, Game of Thrones. And rightfully so, since the star towers at a height of 6’9 and weighs over 200 lbs. His strength helped him score big and set a record for a deadlift of over 1000 lbs. So when the star boarded a flight, he faced an unexpected hindrance that he joked about on social media.

Owing to his more-than-average height, the star found it difficult to go to the airplane’s bathroom. In a hilarious photo, Hafthor tried squeezing in to fit into the tiny airplane bathroom while he clicked a mirror selfie. What usually fit the average human being was a bit too small for the champion.

Continuing an ongoing series of how he struggled to fit into places that didn’t offer him room, the star wrote, “Airplane toilets aren’t made for tall guys.” Nevertheless, he laughed his woes away along with his fans, who also made fun of the situation. Meanwhile, this is not the first time that Hafthor has commented on things that don’t fit him as a tall person.

What else has been short for ‘The Mountain’?

Mirror selfies have proven to be Hafthor’s saving grace when it comes to showing his perspective. As a large man, the athlete has often found himself in situations where accommodation got just a bit too short, leaving no room to breathe. While the airplane was a claustrophobic nightmare, Hafthor once faced trouble in a different way.

What was supposed to be a quick appearance check turned into a hilarious revelation. Hafthor once couldn’t even look properly into a mirror, since he was too tall for it. The champion updated his fans about the situation with an Instagram story while jokingly grumbling about how no one made mirrors for tall guys. And fans seem to love his goofy posts.
