Icelandic superhuman, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson AKA Thor is a multifaceted individual, to say the least, from moving ungodly amounts of weights to crushing mortals with his bare hands, he has done it all. As a professional strongman, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest strength athletes of all time. Moreover, he also transitioned into boxing and had an iconic showdown with fellow strongman, Eddie Hall. Meanwhile, a very noticeable feature of Björnsson is the glorious beard that adorns his face. A beard, which might in fact be, an ode to his Viking ancestors. However, he recently sent fans into a frenzy with a picture of his clean-shaven face.
