Vale Lord Humungus!
Yes Sweden's Kjell Nilsson, the actor who played the iconic villain Lord Humungus in Mad Max 2, was a weightlifter and later a weightlifting coach. No relation to 1980 Olympian Leif Nilsson however.
Kjell Nilsson went on to predominately be a body builder, but competing for Mossebergs AK in Sweden he Pressed 130, Snatched 120 and Jerked 155.
