Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, famously known as The Mountain from Game of Thrones, and his wife Kelsey Henson have addressed the question people ask most frequently. The couple’s significant height difference naturally draws curiosity from fans and followers alike.
The Icelandic actor stands at an imposing 6 feet 9 inches tall. His wife Kelsey measures just 5 feet 2 inches, creating quite a striking contrast between them. Their height difference has become a topic of constant public interest.
During a recent Instagram Q&A session, the couple answered questions from social media followers. One fan asked specifically about their everyday affections given the height gap. The inquiry wondered how they manage simple gestures like kissing.
The fan requested: “How do you kiss? Do you jump into his arms every time and wrap your legs around his waist?” They even asked for a photo demonstrating this impressive action.
Kelsey responded with characteristic humor and honesty. She explained: “Ah, he bends, I tiptoe. Or just say screw it, pick me up!” Her lighthearted answer delighted followers who appreciate their down-to-earth dynamic.
The couple has faced profound sorrow alongside their public joy. They experienced heartbreaking loss when their daughter Grace was stillborn at 21 weeks near the end of last year. This tragedy remains a private pain they carry.
They share a three-year-old son named Stormur together. Thor also has a daughter from a previous relationship, Theresa Líf. Despite challenges, the family continues forward with resilience and love.
