The Mountain from Game of Thrones and his petite wife have addressed one of the most frequently asked questions about their relationship.
Absolutely, standing next to Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, most people would seem petite! He’s best known for his role as Gregor Clegane in Game of Thrones.
Standing at 6 feet 9 inches, he certainly earns his title as Game of Thrones‘ ‘The Mountain.’
The Icelandic strongman is the only person to have ever won the world’s three biggest strongman competitions in the same calendar year: the Arnold Strongman Classic, Europe’s Strongest Man, and the World’s Strongest Man.
He really does embody the qualities of a mountain, especially when contrasted with his 5 feet 2 inches wife, Kelsey Henson.
The couple, who married in 2018, often playfully highlight their 19-inch height difference. Björnsson has even been known to use his wife as a dumbbell during his gym workouts.
Acknowledging their height difference, she joked in an Instagram snap: “Never get fully in the frame together… tall with short people problem.”
During a social media Q&A with fans, they addressed a frequently asked question about their personal lives: “How do you kiss? Do you jump into his arms every time and wrap your legs around his waist?”
The fan continued, “Please post a picture of this impressive action.”
The last line might be a bit unusual, but Henson happily shared the details: “Ah, he bends, I tiptoe. Or just say screw it, pick me up!”
Although it wasn’t the answer everyone was hoping for, one fan commented, “Nope, the real question wasn’t really answered!”
Another fan echoed the sentiment, saying, “How they kiss. Um. Yes, that’s exactly what I was wondering about…”
Oh, get your heads out of the gutter…
Previous reels shared by the couple demonstrate how they use their size difference to their advantage in the gym.
The Mountain posted on Instagram that he was ‘missing a dumbbell at the gym’ but had ‘no worries’. “Be creative and use your wife,” he wrote.
With one mega dumbbell in one hand, Henson wore a belt and had her husband lift her in the other hand for a chest press on the bench.
Users called him a ‘powerhouse,’ with many leaving strings of laughing-face emojis in the comments.
