If you're hoping to set a Guinness world record, "fastest 20 meters carrying two refrigerators" is probably not the best place to start as Game of Thrones actor Thor Björnsson has that one locked down.

The 27-year-old Icelandic strongman set the record on the first episode of Guinness World Records Italian Show, carrying two fridges and the frame built to hold them -- a combined weight of 992 pounds -- a full 20-meter distance in 19.60 seconds. He also manages to make it look easy, as one might expect from a person whose GOT nickname is "The Mountain."

Björnsson was fast enough to beat Lithuanian competitor Zydrunas Savickas, winner of the 2014 World's Strongest Man competition, who had to pause momentarily around the 17-meter mark because he was carrying a half-ton on his shoulders.
