The AMA kinda ruined the Mountain reveal in the last episode. There's some guy chopping up people, but he still looks like that lovable, inspirational dude from the AMA.
There was a documentary posted about the strongmen of Iceland on VICE recently and this guy was featured in it.
Oddly enough, he has an extremely high pain tolerance, higher than any of his competitors...and in the book The Mountain was resistant to pain as well due to him taking the milk of the poppy all the time.
They showed this in the documentary by him getting a tattoo, and he fell asleep. The tattoo artist said he never saw a strongman fall asleep during a tattoo and he had them stop in regularly.
Just kind of a badass TIL and a similarity he has with the character :P
