Tony Farrugia

Tony Farrugia, billed as Tony The Strongman, is a performing oldtime strongman from the island of Malta who has presented feats of strength shows through the 2010s and 2020s and is known as the strongest man in Malta. Inspired by stories of his grandfather, a renowned Maltese stone lifter, he took up stone lifting young and later trained himself as a performing strongman. He began performing at truck shows and car shows around Malta and Gozo and dedicates his shows to charitable causes. His feats include lifting cars, pulling trucks and buses, bending steel, tearing telephone directories and decks of cards in half, and lifting gas cylinders with his little fingers. In 2016 he teamed with the veteran strongman Paul Grima as Tony and Cool, and in 2022 he reached the live semi-final of Malta Got Talent.
