[@MulliganBrothers]

Massive thank you to Thor for opening up and sharing his story, thank you to Runar, please go check out their instagrams in the description. We are happy to share what we have filmed with you guys and we are getting closer to our goal of Netflix as we master our skills every day. Thank you all for the support and if you like the video please feel free to share it as that will help a great deal. There is more of the interview to come as we have been working on a gym video where Thor talks about hard work and mindset in the gym.

[@MulliganBrothers]

Thank you for the kind words Jay, hope you have a blessed and productive day. Happy to hear about your progress.

Damn it. I didn't know that he hasn't seen his daughter for 3 years... I know fathers who are going through the same thing. This is a kind of emotional abuse which you will not hear about on the news. I wish you the best Thor! Most of us discovered a great human being in you. The more you opened up, the more it was clear.

@@jondovik6250 He's daughter is around 12 or 13 now, I think. S all the recent little girls appearing on video are others' children.

[@SunriseFestival]

Taking that much roids, loosing control over temper and having voilent outbursts. No child should have to witness such mess. The court made the right decision.

[@squashedeyeball]

@@SunriseFestival This is not always the case. Biased laws, siding against men even in cases of accusations with little to none evidence. Maybe in his case he was indeed effected by the stress and turned violent. I don't have an insight to what went on between them in those years. But where has Thor's "roid rage" been for the past years? Where is the "roid rage" among other strongmen? I personally don't buy that Thor was beating his partner up. Not when there is nothing solid to indicate that to me and not when he is without criminal charges of domestic violence.

I really feel Hafthor's pain when it comes to not seeing his daughter. My daughter was stopped from seeing me by her mum about 4 years ago, while at the same time being given a really bad impression of me. So much time passed and I've not had the chance to spend any time with her, so she started to believe the bulls**t. I miss her all the time and hope one day she will understand that I love her, I've always been here for her and I'm not such a bad guy.

[@huntermurray956]

I had the honor of meeting/lifting with Thor in Iceland in May 2019. He was in the middle of training for WSM 2019, but what was the first thing he did upon my arrival? Stood up right after he had just finished a set just to give me a fist bump. This man is not only a strongman legend, but he is one of the most genuine human beings I have ever met. To this day I feel beyond fortunate to have the experience of meeting him, his father, Kelsey and others who were there that day. I wish the best for him and his entire family!!

as a father hearing this choked me up. I hope this guy keeps going hard in life. keep moving forward

[@MeisterPommfritt]

It reminds me of the time 30 years ago when my first wife left me and took my 9 year old daughter away from me. I loved both of them and it almost destroyed me, so that I lost my job and my house and suddenly I owed 90,000 DM. It was hard to cope with, finding a new job, working 12 hours a day, paying it all back. 3 tough, sad years in which I became totally disillusioned and despised myself. But in the end I stood upright, and today I have a good relationship with my daughter.

My son was 1yr and my girl was 5yrz old. I left them for 3yrs.couldn't stop crying every day when I think of them.when I went back home they told me that there father never visit them or even talk to them through the phone just because the new wife's rule doesn't allow the father to see his own children 😢(I haven't seen this kind of woman before though)I bought a piece of land and I built a house for my mama and my kids. I had to leave the country again for I must provide for them since I have no one to turn to. I miss them big time but at least now days I talk to them every day through video calls..I feel this guy's pain of not seeing a child.

Thank you for the video boys. Unless your a threat to your child, no Parent should be inhibited from seeing and knowing their child. The only bright side is that the child grows up and sees with their own eyes what the truth is, and then God help a parent that has lied or used them as pawns. This has been my experience. I couldn't be prouder of my child, and have a wonderful relationship with them now, but I feel saddened every day for all the lost years, when someone chose to punish me for not accepting their infidelity and lies.
