Game of Thrones' The Mountain's petite wife answers the most asked question about their relationship

The pair have a whopping 19 inches separating them

Game of Thrones star The Mountain’s petite wife has answered probably the most asked question about their relationship.

I mean, most people who stand next to this bloke can arguably be described as ‘petite’, let’s be honest. Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is best known for playing Gregor Clegane in the hit fantasy TV series.

And standing at 6ft 9in, he’s more than deserving of his character being known as Game of Thrones' 'The Mountain’.

The Icelandic strongman is the only person to have ever won the world’s three biggest strongman competitions within the same calendar year: the Arnold Strongman Classic, the Europe's Strongest Man, and the World's Strongest Man.

So he really does share some qualities with a mountain, pretty contrastingly to his 5ft 2in wife, Kelsey Henson.

The little and large pair married back in 2018 and often make a bit of a joke of the 19 inches difference in height. Björnsson has even been known to use his wife as a dumbbell in the gym.

Admitting to even struggling with taking selfies, in one Instagram snap she joked: “Never get fully in the frame together... tall with short people problem.”

And during a Q&A with their fans on social media, they answered a very common question about their personal lives as one asked: “How do you kiss? Do you jump into his arms every time and wrap your legs around his waist?

“Please post a picture of this impressive action.”

I mean, that last line could be a little weird but Henson still happily responded to spill the details. “Ah, he bends, I tiptoe. Or just say screw it, pick me up!” she said.

Although, it’s not exactly the question everyone was hoping to be answered it seemed as one put: “Nope, the real question wasn’t really answered!”

And another echoed: “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 show how they use their size difference to their advantage in the gym.


The Mountain wrote on Instagram how 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 one hand for a chest press on the bench.

And users called him a ‘powerhouse’ as many left strings of laughing-face emojis.
