4.Kelsey Henson & Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson met waitress Kelsey Henson while he was visiting Canada for a competition. Björnsson was the face behind the character Sir Gregor Clegane, “The Mountain”, in seasons four to eight of HBO’s Game of Thrones. But before he ventured into the world of acting, he was a record-breaking professional strongman in Iceland. He has competed in several competitions all over the world, including Iceland’s Strongest Man contest, World’s Strongest Man, and World’s Strongest Viking.

Henson is also an athlete herself and is sponsored by some sports brands on Instagram. She seems to live a low-profile life when compared to her husband’s, but she showers him with support especially during his competitions. The couple welcomed their first child together on September 2020. Mr. and Mrs. Björnsson must have taken a business loan since they opened their own business named Thor’s Power Gym located in Kópavogur, Iceland.
