Either Hafthór Björnsson blew out an eye and just about every vein in his face prepping for a strongman competition, or The Mountain is getting quite the beatdown in Game of Thrones Season 8.
That said, The Mountain is missing his vacant blue eyes in this picture, so this may just be Björnsson posing for a photo midway through makeup, and not really relevant to the duo’s potential throwdown.
The Mountain is looking a bit redder than his usual blue tinge in this photo, so perhaps Sandor managed to get a receipt on his brother for scalding and disfiguring his face when they were children.
There’s also the chance that Björnsson favorite Season 8 moment has nothing to do with “The Hound,” and he just got a whole bunch of fans’ hopes up and now can’t say anything to calm them down.
