The Mountain's wife answered one question that always gets asked about their personal lives
The Mountain's wife has answered a frequently asked question from fans that is fairly personal.
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson or Thor, is best known by the general public for playing Gregor Clegane aka The Mountain in Game of Thrones.
The Icelandic strongman is the only person ever to have won the three biggest strongman competitions in the world in the same calendar year: the Arnold Strongman Classic, the Europe's Strongest Man, and the World's Strongest Man.

His role in Game of Thrones isn't the only acting credit on his CV though, as he has also made appearances in The Northman, Operation Ragnarok and Pharaoh’s War.
But there is one feature of Thor's that stands out apart from his wide, muscly build - his towering height.
Standing at a staggering 6 ft 9 in, he is sure to arch over most people, but what is more surprising is that his wife, Kelsey Henson, is just 5 ft 2 inches.
The couple married in October 2018, with the strongman, 35, captioning the wedding post on Instagram: “It is with great pleasure that I now get to call Kelsey Morgan Henson my wife!
“I get to hold this beautiful woman through thick and thin for the rest of our lives! I’m so excited for all of the future adventures we will tackle side by side.”
But the difference in height has got fans from around the world asking the same personal question.
No, it's not what you think it is.
Kelsey, 34, once held a live Instagram Q&A and someone had the nerve to ask the burning question: “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.”
That last line is a bit intrusive, but nonetheless, she did happily reply.
“Ah, he bends, I tiptoe. Or just say screw it, pick me up!” She responded.
One commenter put: “How they kiss. Um. Yes, that’s exactly what I was wondering about…”
Another said: “Nope, the real question wasn’t really answered!”
Everyone needs to get their head out of the gutter...
But there you go! Apparently it's not as hard as you'd think.
Warning: the next part of this article discusses pregnancy loss which some readers may find distressing.
On a more serious note though, the couple sadly experienced a pregnancy loss in 2023, and took to Instagram to share that they had a brief time with their daughter before she passed.
The couple wrote: “After a noticeable decrease in movement we found out her heart had stopped beating,
“Words cannot describe our pain of this loss or our happiness at being able to spend time with our daughter.
“She is absolutely beautiful, with blonde lashes and brows and a little smile for mom and dad.
“The love we feel for her is overwhelming. The grief we feel will be with us forever but so will the love. All of our hopes and dreams for her have been taken away from us but I know I will be with her again. Her spirit lives on through us and her siblings," they concluded.
However, the couple do have a three-year-old son named Stormur, while Björnsson has a daughter named Theresa Líf with his ex-girlfriend.
