The Mountain’s ‘tiny’ wife Kelsey answers one thing people were thinking
The Mountain's wife has responded to a question that we were all thinking.
The actor, real name Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson but often refers to himself as Thor, is best known for playing Gregor Clegane (AKA 'The Mountain') in Game of Thrones.
He's also starred in the likes of The Northman, Operation Ragnarok and Pharaoh's War.

The Icelandic-born actor stands at a staggering 6ft 9inches and while you'd think he'd potentially date someone who was also pretty tall - he opted for quite the opposite.
Björnsson is married to Kelsey Henson, 34, who is just 5ft 2inches tall.
With their drastic height difference in mind, many people have wondered how on earth the pair kiss one another - and it's a pretty valid question to ask.
In an previous Instagram Q&A, someone penned to Henson: "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."
She responded: "Ah, he bends, I tiptoe. Or just say screw it, pick me up!"
I mean, fair enough.
The happy couple wed back in October 2018, where Björnsson shared a photo of him holding his bride with ease.
He penned alongside the sweet snap: "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."
And the pair have been through some hardships as of late after the death of their daughter Grace in November 2023.
Their little girl was a stillborn at 21 1/2 weeks gestation.
"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."
Baby Grace was their second child. The celebrity pair also have a three-year-old son named Stormur.
Björnsson shares daughter Theresa Líf with his ex-girlfriend as well.
