Thor’s partial face paralysis

As per a 2017 social media post by Bjornsson, he once revealed he was suffering from Bell Palsy face paralysis. Ahead of Europe’s Strongest Man competitions, the 450-lbs star’s face was paralyzed. Fortunately, it was a temporary condition and didn’t impact his performance to a great extent. However, he admitted to his fans that he won’t be able to smile through the course of his show.

“There was nothing to worry about. That I have caught some virus called Bells Palsy which causes half of my face getting paralysed. It can last from a week to a few months apparently,” he said while addressing the issue.
