Hafthor Bjornsson rethinks his style
“I have been…growing a little bit, so I need to get some jeans,” Bjornsson admitted in the video. As the sources revealed, the 34-year-old athlete gave a shoutout to the Reign family and featured his preferred stop, DXL Big + Tall. Additionally, he disclosed that shopping in Iceland was a bit too difficult for him. Thus, Bjornsson said, “When in America, I gotta shop because sadly Iceland is literally impossible for me to shop.”
Accompanied by Henson, the 450-lbs star was confident in finding some great fits. “I brought my wife with me, and she’s gonna help me find something nice,” he claimed. Eventually, he tried out a plethora of outfits, sizing up to XL, and at one point, the couple twinned in red apparel and marked it as the “fit of the day.” Meanwhile, a couple of fans grabbed selfies with the strongman too.
Finally, after a seemingly cheerful day, the Bjornsson family flaunted some cool new additions to their closet. However, he explicitly stated that the feature was no advertising initiative and simply a call out to the “big guys.” Furthermore, the Game of Thrones actor implied that this video was to shed light on the challenges of finding fitting clothes for sizeable individuals. Likewise, in another update, he once pointed out the pitfalls of being tall.
Hafthor Bjornsson’s tall-guy problems
In a January Instagram story, Bjornsson posted an amusing snap of himself posing in front of an average-sized mirror. Sadly, his reflection was unable to fit in. Therefore, The Mountain took the opportunity to voice his opinion on the issue. “They don’t make mirrors for tall people,” the caption stated.
Significantly, the Icelandic pro hails from a giant family of 6-feets. Hence, the towering statures run in his genetics, often predisposing him to modern prejudices. Moreover, his wife is comparably 19 inches shorter than Bjornsoon, as Henson’s height is recorded as 5’2”.
