The Mountain Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson is strongest Viking in 1000 years
Actor Hafthor Julius Bjornsson
Norway - UPI
Game of Thrones actor Hafthor Julius Björnsson, better known as The Mountain, became the strongest Viking in 1,000 years.
According to Icelandic legend, Orm Storulfsson walked three steps with a wooden log weighing about 1,500 lbs before breaking his back. Björnsson carried a log of the same weight and size for five steps.
Afterwards he took to social media, claiming "My back held up fine!"
Björnsson stunned Game of Thrones fans after a particular gruesome fight scene in "The Mountain and the Viper" where The Mountain killed Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal) by squeezing his head until it exploded -- an actual real life possibility.
No matter how big and strong, Björnsson still proves to be friendly.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
