Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is asking for well-wishes from fans as he hopes to be present for his son's birth.
The Game of Thrones alum revealed on Instagram Sunday that he was "coming up to the end of a seven-day quarantine" after previously "being in close contact with someone who was diagnosed" with coronavirus "shortly after doing some work for a job" — and if he tests positive, he may miss his first child's arrival.
"If I am positive it will mean a further 14-day quarantine," Björnsson, 31, captioned a shirtless mirror selfie. "Unfortunately this means there is a chance I will miss the birth of my son and unable to be beside my wife to support her as she gives birth and welcomes him to the world."
"I will take the test on Tuesday morning and am very anxious!" he continued, concluding, "Everyone please send me some positive vibes!! 🙏🏻"
