Game of Thrones' The Mountain's 'tiny' wife answers the one thing people always ask
Game of Thrones' Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson stands at 6ft 9 inches
The Mountain's 'tiny' wife has answered the one question everyone seems to be asking.
The actor, whose real name is Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, has starred in the likes of The Northman, Operation Ragnarok and Pharaoh's War during his acting career so far.
However, he is certainly best known for starring as Gregor Clegane (AKA 'The Mountain') in Game of Thrones.
As his name in the series suggests, the actor stands at a sizeable 6ft 9 inches.

You might think Björnsson would date someone who is also very tall.
However, the Icelandic actor opted for quite the opposite as he's married to Kelsey Henson, 34, who is just 5ft 2inches tall.
That's a 19 inch height difference.
The couple have often joked about being complete opposites in this regard, with Kelsey saying they even struggle taking selfies together.
"Never get fully in the frame together....tall with short people problem," she wrote alongside one post.
And that's not the only thing the couple's height difference sometimes proves an issue for.
Since they tied the knot in 2018, the pair have regularly kept fans updated on their daily lives on social media.
Instagram Q&A's are pretty regular, with one burning question that seems to be on everyone's lips being previously addressed by the couple.
With a huge difference in height, many fans have wondered how the pair actually kiss.
A pretty valid question, so Björnsson and his wife addressed in an Instagram post.
"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," someone penned to Henson.
She responded: "Ah, he bends, I tiptoe. Or just say screw it, pick me up!"
The celebrity couple's relationship hasn't been without heartache.
The death of their daughter Grace in November 2023 rocked the entire family, with their little girl stillborn at 21 and a half weeks.
"After a noticeable decrease in movement we found out her heart had stopped beating," the actor shared a heartbreaking Instagram post.
"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."
