The striking height difference between Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson and his wife Kelsey Henson has long sparked curiosity online — and now Henson has finally answered the question many fans secretly wondered about.
Björnsson, famous for playing Gregor Clegane in the hit TV series Game of Thrones, stands an imposing 6ft 9in, while Henson is 5ft 2in, creating nearly a two-foot height gap.
During a previous Instagram Q&A session, a fan directly asked Henson how the couple manages to kiss, given the dramatic height difference.
Her answer was refreshingly simple.
“Ah, he bends, I tiptoe. Or just say screw it — pick me up!” she replied, putting an end to the speculation with humor.
The couple married in October 2018, with Björnsson sharing a heartfelt message at the time, calling Henson “a beautiful woman” he was excited to spend his life with.
Beyond the viral curiosity around their height difference, the couple has also faced profound personal challenges. In November 2023, they shared the heartbreaking news that their daughter Grace was stillborn at 21½ weeks, a loss Björnsson described as an indescribable pain.
Despite the tragedy, the pair continues to share moments from their life with fans. They are parents to a young son, Stormur, while Björnsson also has a daughter from a previous relationship.
For many fans online, the couple’s story has become a mix of curiosity, resilience, and love — proving that sometimes the internet’s most unusual questions can have the simplest answers.
