NewJeffCT Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 He certainly has the bulk to play Gregor Clegane... though, he's a bit on the short side. I guess that's what happens when you cast Hafthor instead of Fullthor? :laugh: (Lena Headey is listed at 5'5" on her wiki page for comparison) https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/t1/p261x260/1010983_811008282249574_604878013_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tiger Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 He is bulkier than Conan Stevens (419), but indeed shorter at 6'9 Can you believe he is 25? Holy shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clariana Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Considering that he's supposed to be her champion it makes sense. Or they're just fucking in real life. Wow! That's... He IS big. Great for the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewJeffCT Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Wow! That's... He IS big. Great for the part. and, with camera angles, some lifts in his shoes and broaden his shoulders with whatever they call that part of the armor, and he'll look even bigger.

Le Cygne Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 6'9"? That's only 3" taller than show Hound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aFeastForDragons Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 He definitely looks like a guy who would kill you for snoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyJoe Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 6'9" is insanely tall for a human being. If you go any taller than that and you're likely to find people who suffer from gigantism who are in no shape to be body builders with any semblance of acting ability. Not to mention the camera tricks that have been used for decades to make actors like Tom Cruise and Al Pacino appear to be above average height. Let's just wait and see how he does.

They should have got the guy who played in the sherlock films...his name was Kurrgan in his wrestling days. Over 7 foot, over 350 pounds and scary as fuck. Can act well enough for whatever scenes the Mountain has to pull off. Which is mostly grunting and roaring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dothraki Summer Islander Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Good grief - that dude is the size of a mountain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco_Dracul Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Definitely an improvement over Ian Whyte as far as appearance goes. Both Conan Stevens and the new guy look like Mountains that ride, Whyte looked like The Basketball Player that Rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 6'9"? That's only 3" taller than show Hound. Fortunately, he won't be in fight scenes with Rory (at least not this season or the next... if ever), so it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Smith Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Considering that he's supposed to be her champion it makes sense. Or they're just fucking in real life.

Benjaario Starkharis Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Fortunately, he won't be in fight scenes with Rory (at least not this season or the next... if ever), so it doesn't matter. No, no. Cleganebowl is all but confirmed. The Gravedigger of Quiet Isle shall defend the Faith against Ser Robert Strong in Cersei's trial. GET HYPE!

reek greyjoy Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 This guy is as close to the mountain as you get. The guy from wrestling doesn't have the muscle to be the mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixFlame Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I really like this guy! He's believable as someone that muscly...I sort of eyeroll at flicks were the uber tall guy is both muscled like a bull and cut like he hasn't had water in two days. I doubt ye olde warriors compared vein visibility or striations. This sweetie looks like he'd wrestle a horse to its knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Olenna Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Ye gawds!! He is enormous!! I like him much better than last season's Mountain. I can't wait to see the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GET HYPE! Hahahaha, this is great. In any event, I agree that the new Gregor has the book Mountain's awesome terribleness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
