‘The Mountain’ from Game of Thrones has a girlfriend and yeah, the size difference is something else…
Hafthor Julius Bjornsson and Kelsey Henson have been dating sporadically since September.
The two met in Earls Kitchen + Bar in Alberta, when Kelsey asked the giant for a picture.
Check it out below:
Both were working in the city at the time, with ‘The Mountain’ competing in a Strongman competition.
In his native Iceland, he is a seven-time champion.
Earlier this year, he revealed he was suffering from facial paralysis.
In a brave Instagram post, he wrote:
To all my dear strongman fans, I have a small announcement. Last Sunday I got very sick. On Tuesday morning I woke up and the right side of my face felt kind of numb. It got worse over the course of the day and then it got completely paralysed.
My friends insisted sending me to the ER to get things checked out as they were seriously worried I was having a stroke. I spent a good amount of time at the hospital as doctors ran some tests on me. Luckily I was informed there was nothing to worry about. That I have caught some virus called Bells Palsy which causes half of my face getting paralysed.
It can last from a week to a few months apparently. So please keep that in mind if you come to Europe’s Strongest Man tomorrow and get pictures with me that I’m not in a bad mood I just can’t really smile for pictures haha!
Other than that I feel good and look forward to battling it out with the guys for the Title of Europe’s Strongest Man 2017 and putting on a great show for all you guys! Bring it on!
Bell’s palsy is a condition, which according to the NHS, affects one in 5,000 people a year and is most common in people aged 15-60.
It causes temporary partial or full paralysis of a persons face.
While it’s currently unknown what exactly causes Bells Palsy, researchers believe it has something to do with the nerves in the face becoming inflamed, possibly linked to a viral infection.
I don’t think it’ll get in his way. He’s ‘The Mountain’ after all.
