Game of Thrones has become so omnipotent in its influence, that fans are having a pretty hard time telling fantasy from fact.

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who plays the formidable Ser Gregor Clegane (AKA The Mountain), is certainly suffering the consequences; he told Entertainment Weekly of the bizarre requests he keeps receiving from fans to "squeeze their eyes out".

"That's very popular," he added. "Or pick them up over my head. But the most popular is to squeeze their eyes out."

It's unclear why so many are keen to recreate the clearly horrifying experience of Prince Oberyn back in season 4, but there might soon be another scene on the horizon people will be begging to reenact: Cleganebowl.

It's otherwise known as the long-running fan theory that The Mountain and his brother Sandor Clegane (AKA The Hound) are destined to settle their familial feud in a fight to the death.



One in which Björnsson believes the The Mountain would "100 percent" end up victorious. "I haven't seen it yet in my head how I would kill him, but somehow I would smash his head or kill him like that. I think the fight would be quick rather than something long. I think people would be expecting a big fight but I would finish him really fast. It would be a surprise to people."
