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.

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.

Warning: Contains spoilers for House of the Dragon
After many months of waiting for House of the Dragon season two, the Game of Thrones spin-off is officially over for another season.
The series has certainly been action packed, tying up some loose ends while introducing us to new storylines.
Throughout season two, Daemon Targaryen has had some rather bizarre hallucinations that has kept viewers on the edge of their seats.
I mean, some have been pretty disturbing haven't they? I think the less said about a sex dream involving his dead mother Alyssa the better.

As you can see with all of the capitalization, fans are losing it.
Unfortunately, the House of the Dragon finale leaked online ahead of the release in the US on Sunday.
In a statement addressing the incident, HBO told UNILAD: "We are aware that clips from the House of the Dragon season finale have surfaced across social media platforms.
"The clips were posted after an unintentional release from an international third-party distributor. HBO is aggressively monitoring and removing clips from the internet, and fans can watch the episode in its entirety this Sunday night on HBO and Max.”Featured Image Credit: HBO
House of the Dragon director addresses fan theory about major Game of Thrones Easter egg Rhaena Targaryen (Phoebe Campbell) was given a very important task in the latest House of the
Dragon episode
House of the Dragon fans are flooding to social media in a frenzy after the director addressed a theory about a very literal Game of Thrones Easter egg.
The director of season two, episode three of House of The Dragon Geeta Vasant Patel has spoken out after fans made an exciting connection to GOT.
**Warning: Spoilers ahead if you've not watched season two, episode three of House of The Dragon**
The third episode of the second season - written by David Hancock and directed by Patel - sees Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) send her sons Aegon and Viserys to the Vale.
She asks Rhaena Targaryen (Phoebe Campbell) to accompany them and ensure not only their safety, but the protection of the young dragons Tyraxes and Stormcloud, alongside four dragon eggs.
As soon as House of the Dragon viewers spotted the eggs, many immediately flocked to social media to question whether the eggs are very literal Easter eggs to Game of Thrones and are, in fact, the eggs which later come into the possession of Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) - who's given them by Illyrio Mopatis (Roger Allam).
And Patel has since addressed the fans' speculation.

Patel told Mashable: "Those are Daenerys' eggs. All of us who work on this show are big Game of Thrones fans, so it was very exciting to shoot that scene."
So, it's been confirmed the eggs are those which later hatch into Daenerys' dragons Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion.
And it's not taken long for fans of the show to flood to social media in delight.

One Twitter user said: "I gotta say the more I think about this the more I like it. Rhaenyra said if everything went wrong, those eggs would carry on the legacy of their house. And that's exactly what Daenerys and her dragons are, the future and legacy of house Targaryen."
"Soon as I seen them I already knew," another added.
A third commented: "Her shadow is all over HOTD and I love it."
"That's actually amazing," a fourth said.
A fifth wrote: "The fact Rhaena really did end up protecting the Targaryen legacy she had the most important job."
And a final simply wrote: "I pray for a sequel to happen to GOT & Daenerys comes back to life either human, demigod or white walker and kills all of the Starks & Tyrion Lannister and reign supreme. Please! She Deserves Her Revenge!"

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss might have made a name for themselves with Game of Thrones, but they're now looking to make history with a new Netflix project.
After working with HBO for eight years on Game Of Thrones, the creators left the platform behind and have since teamed up with Netflix for their next project.
Benioff and Weiss are now back with 3 Body Problem, which releases on the popular streaming platform this week. You can check out the trailer here:
The film makers are teaming up with Alexander Woo (The Terror: Infamy and True Blood) to bring the book franchise to screen.
Starring the likes of John Bradley, Liam Cunningham, Eiza González, Jess Hong, Benedict Wong and Jonathan Pryce, the GOT creators hope some familiar faces will bring them back to the glory days.
But the famous duo are joined by a third film maker this time, Woo.
Speaking of how the coloration between the trio came about, Benioff tells UNILAD: "It all goes back to Peter Friedlander [Head of Scripted Series at Netflix], who was the matchmaker in all of this."
Weiss adds: "We were having some dinner with Peter Friedlander and Cindy Holland. And Peter asked us, 'Have we ever read these Three-Body Problem books?' [This was] before we went to work for Netflix.
"I knew about them, mainly just because on the front cover there's a blurb from President Obama, which is unusual that a Chinese science fiction novel would have learned from the president."
Netflix
Beinoff and Weiss went on to read the novels, and immediately knew they wanted to work on the series after finishing them.
"I think we're both intimidated by the prospect and also kind of thrilled by that added challenge of it, because the books are massive," Weiss explains.
After establishing they were going to bring 3 Body Problem to screen, Benioff and Weiss were introduced to Woo by Friedlander - and the rest, as they say, is history.

"Peter had called me up a few months after Dan and David had signed up and he said, 'We have this fantastic project, but we can't tell you what it is,'" Woo tells UNILAD.
The Netflix executive said the project involved working with the Game of Thrones creators and with Woo being a 'big fan', he couldn't turn it down.
While a new project is exciting for any film maker, Weiss admits there is 'more pressure' than usual with 3 Body Problem.
While Game of Thrones was beloved for many years - with the first two seasons earning 90 and 96 percent on Rotten Tomatoes respectfully - everyone knows how the fantasy franchise concluded.
And to say that fans were not happy with the ending is an understatement.

Despite that, Weiss will not be making comparisons to the 'Thrones experience', even if the pressure may be higher due to the perception of the final series.
Weiss explains: "We tried not to compare it to the Thrones experience because that was a specific experience that was very related to that place in time in which it happened.
"There's always pressure and in this case, there was maybe more pressure than usual to try to come up with something that felt exciting.
He adds: "[Also it had to] feel new and different and not feel like any in any way a retread of the ground that we'd spent the past ten years of our lives covering.
"So that was a big component of the pressure - striking out in a different direction and really wanting to make sure that it wasn't like what we had done before."

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.
