Hound’s actor, Rory McCann, was so terrified of the 1st Star Thrones game that he asked to use only 10% for a scene

game of Thrones He had many iconic confrontations among rival characters, and for eight seasons, we have all been waiting to see the Clegane brothers block the horns. He took a long time, but finally we got our desire in the final season after the hound and mountain hit themselves in the crumbled steps of the red fortress.

Known in the Fandom world as the Cleganebowl, the duel between the separate brothers was one of the most rigorous fighting scenes of the show. It is worth noting that such a thing has never happened in books, and it seemed a simple admirers service, but who knows? George RR Martin could launch something for Canon.

Rory McCann’s reaction to his fighting scene with Hafthor Bjorsson in game of Thrones

Rory McCann and Hafthor Bjorsson They were extremely prepared for the expected Cleganebowl scene in game of Thrones Season 8 with the hope of delivering one of the most unforgettable clashes in the program. Hound’s actor was very excited to face his enemy on screen, but he didn’t expect how dangerous it would be.

The scene took place in the ruins of the Red Fortress. While Daenerys Targaryen rode on his dragon on the landing of the king, Sandor and Gregor Clegane fought until death on the stairs underneath. While talking with HBO to Making game of thrones (through Trip Wire Magazine), The actor shared how terrified he was after learning about the choreography:

I made the specialists tell the world’s strongest man: “When you pick up Rory, simply throw it in the middle of the wall there” and go: “Woah, Woah, Woah, that is still a lot of brute strength, can we go down to 10 percent maybe?” So I was a little mistreated and bruised.

Bjorsson was acclaimed as the strongest man in the world in 2018 and has continued to ensure places in the competition for nine consecutive times. His other tournaments included the last strong man in the world, Arnold Strongman Classic, the strongest man in Europe and the strongest man on earth. These titles would have sent chills by the spine of McCann.

As Bjorsson also fought with his prostheses, he could not take advantage of all his strength during his scene. McCann felt relieved for this, and was very happy to know that his co -star was very gentle with him, but nevertheless, they had an epic moment performing the legendary fight.

Anyway, I was not too pressed for everything. He was aware of exaggeration and anticipation, but he trusts full in the people behind the program so that his fight with the hound looks great on the screen.
