Randy ”nanonoko” Lew and Andrew ”LuckyChewy” Lichtenberger traveled to Iceland to shoot a promotional video with one of the strongest men in the world, Hafthor Bjornsson, who plays Gregor ”The Mountain” Clegane on the hit TV show Game of Thrones.

The promotional video was shot in one day and there was no script, the director, Petur ”Peppi” Sigurdsson and the rest of the crew made up the story for the video on the go. The only instructions the filming crew received is to shoot a poker video with a James Bond-like vibe. They started the work at the second biggest glacier of Iceland, the Langjokull.

Sigurdsson also talked about the involvement of The Mountain:

”Nothing was scripted. Randy was there and we knew we wanted to shoot something funny, for example to go out to a glacier and do something silly. Then I had a couple of ideas. I wanted to work with The Mountain for a long time, I knew his agent, I was like, why not now?” 

”Meeting a celebrity is always exciting. He’s a great guy! In the series he whacks a couple of people but he is very, very nice. He eats a lot. For lunch he ate two double steak sandwiches and when I fell asleep he ate my food aswell” – said Nanonoko about the experience.
