Absolute monster of a human being Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson – a.k.a. The Mountain – appears to be really enjoying his non-‘Game of Thrones‘ career.
The Icelandic strongman has a couple films in the works, but spends of his time playing with his very tiny puppy (not a euphemism) and spruiking Sodastream, the soda machine company encouraging y’all to stop buying plastic bottles of the stuff.
Sodastream & Björnsson’s relationship go way back, but now the Israeli company have gotten English actress Hannah Waddingham on board. You probably know her better as Septa Unella; your dad probably knows her better as ‘Shame Nun‘.
Honest take? This things ricochets between cringe-worthy and legitimately funny, but it’s a truly spectacular recreation none-the-less.
I have three thoughts after watching that.
Not soon enough, that’s for sure.
The whole ‘shame’ thing ties in with this whole recycling dealio, with research from Sodastream revealing that half of Aussies (49%) feel guilty chucking their plastic in the rubbish bin, and a quarter (24%) of Aussie men feel worse about it than lying to their partner.
