Peter Dinklage plays a gangster on Netflix, the Mountain goes boxing
By Dan Selcke
Watch the trailer for I Care A Lot, where Game of Thrones veteran Peter Dinklage stars as a gangster at war with Rosamund Pike.
Game of Thrones stars Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (the Mountain) are up to stuff. One is in a new movie and one had an exhibition boxing match in Dubai, but you can guess which is which?
Alright, no more keeping you in suspense: Dinklage has the new movie. He stars alongside Rosamund Pike in I Care A Lot, about a conwoman (Pike) who targets elderly people by becoming their guardians and then liquidating that assets. She comes into conflict with a gangster played by Dinklage, and they soon get into a very intense back-and-forth:
Looks pretty fun! I Care A Lot premieres on Netflix on February 19.
In stranger news (well, you tell me), Björnsson participated in an exhibition boxing match over the weekend with professional boxer Steven Ward. I remind you at this juncture that Björnsson, a professional strongman, stands at 6’9” inches tall and when in peak form weighs well over 400 pounds. At 6’2”, Ward is hardly tiny…but everyone’s sort of tiny standing next to Björnsson. I would’ve been nervous.
Apparently, both men fared pretty well. Björnsson did lay Ward out on the mats in the second round, but Ward had Björnsson on the ropes in the third and final round.
In the end, both men were declared the winner, which is how exhibition matches work, apparently. All this is prelude to when Björnsson fights Eddie Hall, his rival in the world of professional strongmen, in September.
An interesting life he leads.
Next. Folks are pretty sure a Game of Thrones star is on The Masked Singer. dark
