Watch The Mountain Press Ed Sheeran Over His Head

From Men's Health

  • Hafþór "The Mountain" Björnsson posted a video from Ed Sheeran's tour stop in Iceland.

  • In the video, Björnsson raises Sheeran above his head in an overhead press

  • Nathalie Emmanuel says that Björnsson did the same to her at a Game of Thrones wrap party.


The most recent stop of Ed Sheeran's ÷ Tour saw him performing in Reykjavik, Iceland. While most people would use their downtime in Iceland to go see the country's famous hot springs or glaciers, Sheeran has instead spent his time in the Nordic island country drinking from an ice statue and getting pressed by his former Game of Thrones castmate Hafþór Björnsson.

Björnsson, or The Mountain, as fans still like to call him, recently posted a behind-the-scenes video from Sheeran's stop in Iceland. In the video, Björnsson is seen lifting and then raising Sheeran above his head in an overhead press. Björnsson hilariously captioned the video, "He asked for it. Luckily I didn’t drop him... He has to work tonight!!"

Sheeran also posted a photo of the press on his Instagram page with the caption, "When in Iceland."

But it turns out that Sheeran isn't the only one to get the overhead press treatment. Nathalie Emmanuel, who played Missandei on Game of Thrones, also commented on The Mountain's post. "You did this to me at that wrap party in Spain remember? LOL," she wrote.

He replied, "Yes great times 🕺🏻😁"

So it seems like The Mountain is going around pressing people, and we would like to volunteer as tribute.
