The Mountain’s Wife Finally Answers the Question Everyone Keeps Asking

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is famous worldwide for two things: his larger-than-life strength and his unforgettable turn as Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane in Game of Thrones. But away from the strongman arena and the spotlight, there’s another topic that consistently draws attention—his relationship with his wife, Kelsey Henson.

The reason is simple: their striking height difference has fueled years of online curiosity. Björnsson stands about 6’9″, while Henson is around 5’2″. That noticeable gap has sparked everything from harmless jokes to genuinely practical questions about how they handle everyday couple moments.

A Global Star in Strength Sports and Entertainment

Long before he became a household name in television, Björnsson had already built an elite reputation in professional strongman competitions. Even today, he’s recognized as one of the most dominant athletes of his era.

One of his biggest achievements remains a historic milestone in strength sports: winning the Arnold Strongman Classic, Europe’s Strongest Man, and World’s Strongest Man in the same year—a rare feat that cemented his legacy.
