Mesut Güney can't tame this stallion - he's no Brad Pitt.

In Çanakkale, Mestan Güney (65) climbed up on the Trojan Horse
for the third and last time, falling to his death.  The 12.4-meter high
Trojan Horse, used in the film that starred Brad Pitt, is currently on
display in the Kordon Boyu neighborhood of Çanakkale. 

After Güney climed the wooden horse and sat atop it, claiming that
"nothing can happen to me", he lost his balance and fell to his death.
In January 2012, Güney had climbed the horse as a ploy to get money
from the Çanakkale governorate. Again, in 2015, a drunken Güney
climbed the horse and was taken down by police with great difficulty.
