Standing at a staggering 6\u20199\u2033 and weighing over 400 pounds, he\u2019s one of the world\u2019s strongest men, having won the title of World\u2019s Strongest Man in 2018.\n</p><p>Describing Haf\u00fe\u00f3r\u2019s size is nearly impossible without underestimating it. His arms? They\u2019re far beyond the metaphor of tree trunks \u2014 they\u2019re truly extraordinary. With biceps measuring 17 inches, a 45-inch waist, and a chest that spans 63 inches, his sheer size is mind-boggling. Even his fingers look like they\u2019ve been sculpted for strength.\n</p><p><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter' size-full wp-image-112408 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/writehorizon.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/02%5C/Thor-Bjornsson.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1365\"' height='\"1706\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Thor-Bjornsson.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>In 2014, Haf\u00fe\u00f3r Bj\u00f6rnsson\u2019s life took a major turn. The Icelander, known as the third most decorated strongman in history, decided to try his hand at acting.\n</p><p>Things got real when he was cast as Ser Gregor \u201dThe Mountain\u201d Clegane in Game of Thrones Season 4, opening up an entirely new world for him.\n</p><p><strong>Starred alongside Mike Tyson<br>\nAt first, though, he thought someone was messing with him. When the casting team called while they were filming in Iceland, he couldn\u2019t believe it.\n<p>\u201dI thought it was some kind of joke. I had no acting experience,\u201d he recalled. \u201dI was just a big dude competing in Strongman.\u201d\n</p><p>Bj\u00f6rnsson\u2019s imposing figure and unforgettable role on the hit TV series have made him a global sensation. He stayed on for several seasons and in 2015, he was also cast in the lead role for the debut season of the Philadelphia Renaissance Faire. There, he played \u2018King Thor,\u2019 the fierce leader of a Viking raiding party set on capturing the city of Amman.\n</p><p>In 2019, the towering actor made another big move. Then, he starred alongside Mike Tyson in the action film Pharaoh\u2019s War, where Tyson played a former soldier with a mysterious past, leading a group of Egyptian refugees through the desert to protect them from ruthless mercenaries.\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter' size-full wp-image-112407 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/writehorizon.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/02%5C/GettyImages-516480526.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"743\"' height='\"1024\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-516480526.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Bj\u00f6rnsson also took on a minor role in the historical epic The Northman, sharing the screen with stars like Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd, Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke, and Willem Dafoe.\n</p><p><strong>His ex-girlfriend feared for her life<br>\nBelieve it or not, Haf\u00fe\u00f3r J\u00fal\u00edus Bj\u00f6rnsson\u2019s personal life has been far from smooth. The strongman-turned-actor has faced serious allegations, with multiple ex-girlfriends accusing him of domestic violence.\n<p>One of his exes, Thelma Bj\u00f6rk Steimann (the mother of his daughter), even claimed she feared for her life during a vacation, leading her to press charges.\n</p><p>\u201dI honestly thought he wouldn\u2019t hit me when I was pregnant,\u201d Steimann told Icelandic newspaper Fr\u00e9ttabla\u00f0i\u00f0.\n</p><p>However, the police investigation found no evidence to support her claims, and Bj\u00f6rnsson later filed a slander lawsuit against her. He still claims that he has never been violent to women.\n</p><p>Sadly, the situation escalated to the point where Haf\u00fe\u00f3r was banned from seeing his daughter for three years. Fortunately, things have calmed down over the years, and now he regularly visits his daughter, Theresa L\u00edf, who lives in Denmark with her mother.\n</p><p>In late 2017, a fateful meeting in Alberta would change Haf\u00fe\u00f3r J\u00fal\u00edus Bj\u00f6rnsson\u2019s life. The towering strongman had traveled to the Canadian province for a promotional event for Icelandic Mountain Vodka, as well as to tour for the Warwick Strongman Festival.\n</p><p>It was at that event that Haf\u00fe\u00f3r met Kelsey Morgan Henson, a Canadian fitness model and waitress who instantly caught his attention. The story goes that their connection began when Kelsey approached The Mountain to ask for a picture, sparking the start of their romance.\n</p><p>The couple quickly found themselves in the spotlight, not only because of Haf\u00fe\u00f3r\u2019s towering stature but also due to the remarkable height difference between them. Kelsey stands at 5 feet 2 inches, making her more than a foot and a half shorter than Bj\u00f6rnsson. What started as a curious spectacle soon turned into something much deeper \u2014 an authentic and meaningful connection.\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter' size-full wp-image-112406 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/writehorizon.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/02%5C/mounti-664x350-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"664\"' height='\"350\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/writehorizon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/mounti-664x350-1.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p><strong>By August 2018, the two were married, sealing their bond with a beautiful ceremony.\n<p>\u201dIt is with great pleasure that I now get to call Kelsey Morgan Henson my wife,\u201d the actor wrote alongside a photo of the pair on their wedding day.\n</p><p>\u201dI get to hold this beautiful woman through thick and thin for the rest of our lives!
