"Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson... 6’9” and currently the strongest man in the world... got married this weekend in his native Iceland to a 5’2” Canadian, body-building woman named Kelsey Morgan Henson."

New York Magazine reports, with lots of photos from his Instagram account. I'll just pick one:

Cute writeup too.

Guy looks slow. Strength isn’t much good without quickness. His wife looks quick. Hopefully their kids get her genes.

I've tried the on the table missionary position, but never the off the table variant. How exactly does that one work?

buwaya म्हणाले...

Very attractive girl.

Lucid-Ideas म्हणाले...

From one of Margaret Cho's earlier stand-up routines...

"Awwwwe. You're so cute! I'm going to f**k you in half!"

Seems about right. Hope she does yoga.

I foresee caesareans.

Fernandinande म्हणाले...

the strongest man in the world

I could've done that but my parents wouldn't pay for calculus.

Those "Strongest Man" contests are a bit...well, anyway Hafþór also deadlifted > 1,000 pounds for a world record.

A guy who benched > 1,100 pounds is 5'9" rather than 6'9".

”I could've done that but my parents wouldn't pay for calculus.”

Heh.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

He looks like a mixture of Popeye and Bluto.

becauseIdbefired म्हणाले...

They look happy. She looks spicy and he looks nice. Good combo.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

How come he's not playing for the NBA? Oh, he's a white man so he can't jump.

Infinite Monkeys म्हणाले...

How do you pronounce his first name?

The "þ" is a thorn, it has a "th" sound.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Insert Hulk/Black Widow Smash GIF here.

Paul Zrimsek म्हणाले...

A full Þór would be 13'6", then?

n.n म्हणाले...

Pretty girl.

Amadeus 48 म्हणाले...

Roughcoat--I am.
How can I not?

Earnest Prole म्हणाले...

I think Hafþór is Icelandic for "Vlad the Impaler."

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

Cute little woman . Is she from Kansas City?

Maillard Reactionary म्हणाले...

He's a lumberjack and he's OK.

robother म्हणाले...

I foresee a race of just under 6 foot half-tatted hockey players.

They should do home porn.

When I was in college our fraternity was rushing this kid who was 7 feet 2 inches and a basketball prospect,

We were standing on a corner on Balboa Island when two girls walked by and looked at him. One said to the other just what you posted.

Skippy Tisdale म्हणाले...

I used to coach women's gymnastics with Pat Spisak. She was a Penn State Gymnast. She married Penn State football Player Matt Millen, who went on to very successful career as an NFL linebacker and then a not so successful NFL coach. He is about 6'2" or so. Pat is 5". Thirty plus years later they are still married.

They should enter the World Wife-Carrying Championship

Human Growth Hormone or Steroids?

Steroids bloat your muscles and let you move more weight
but you deflate quickly

Which HGH, you keep the muscle forever
but your organs continue to grow,
(stomach starts to stick out)

and uncapped bones like eyebrows area look like acromegalia

They used to get HGH from corpses
but now Eli Lilly sells Humatrope, synthetic HGH

She ain't no bodybuilder. Fitness or bikini competition maybe, but not bodybuilding. .

The variation in human form never ceases to amaze me.

Birkel म्हणाले...

I'd bet he makes her feel safe.
Good for them both if they've found love.
There's plenty to go 'round.

Krumhorn म्हणाले...

....Icelandic for Vlad the Impaler

Hahahaha! Just at the moment I was thinking that Laslo could have a field day with this.

Do Not Hit On.

Roughcoat म्हणाले...

Heh heh.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

They had the same problem with bulldogs. The show standard favored big heads, and soon they'd bred a bulldog that couldn't give birth to pups naturally, owing to the big heads in the line.

Vance म्हणाले...

I've seen Mark Eaton, former center for the Utah Jazz. He's like 7-2 or so.

His wife is 4-11. No joke. She literally comes up to his belly button. Amazing disparity in size.

ALP म्हणाले...

As woman even shorter (5') this creeps me out. Huge height differences always have. Eeew.

Trumpit म्हणाले...

That's what the Kama Sutra is for - to save lives.

Just at the moment I was thinking that Laslo could have a field day with this.

That's what I came here for, too. Where is he?

Kevin म्हणाले...

It must be funny when he struggles to open the pickle jar.

Otto म्हणाले...

There's hope for you Ann(5'1").

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

I have a belt very similar to that one.

I'd say that mine is more tasteful because it's the negative of that one. The buckle is solid brushed metal w/ the LV monogram punched through it. And it's not as tall.

Anywho, it's still too tacky fer me. So, I've never worn it.

Impulse buy.

I suppose I should give it away.

Ken B म्हणाले...

Prole, that's hilarious.

AllenS म्हणाले...

The odd couple.

funsize म्हणाले...

I'm 5'2". That's a lot of gentleman. My tallest boyfriend was 6'4", and the height difference was a bit much.

What gets me is how massive his hands are. Give that man a boulder to toss!

There are some really, really big guys out there. I met John Hannah (Patriots professional football player) once during his playing days. When I shook his hand, mine, and part of my forearm, seemed to disappear into his. At that time his thighs were listed as 38" in circumference (each). At 5' 10" I'm not small (pretty average actually) but he was HUGE.

JML म्हणाले...

My parents knew a couple who were disparate in size - he was very short and she was very tall. I remember them saying they loved it when they walked into the NCO Club and all the people looking at them. Dad told me one time that the husband said he loved climbing up his wife, and she agreed - she loved it when he climbed all up over her. My mother told me one time her young daughter asked her, "Mom, why do you wear a bra?" She answered: "Because if I didn't and I turned too fast, my boobs would slap you silly." Good down to earth people.

I'm Full of Soup म्हणाले...

That's like the 6'6' boxing champion Vladimir Klitshco who is married to the little C&W singer Hayden Paniteere. She's about 5'2".

“Half-Thor”, more or less—I think.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

The "þ" is a thorn, it has a "th" sound.

So he’s “half Thor”? Full size Thor must be HUGE.

Char Char Binks, Esq. म्हणाले...

"A guy who benched > 1,100 pounds is 5'9" rather than 6'9"."

Most forms of competitive weightlifting tend to favor the short and stout. Many, maybe most, of the events in Strong Man competitions favor men like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson .

Char Char Binks, Esq. म्हणाले...

Also, I doubt the man is slow or can't jump. Those competitions also put a premium on explosive strength.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

The best WWII fighter pilots were short and chunky with no necks. It beats blacking out under G forces.

Trumpit म्हणाले...


@rhhardin, I'm glad you changed you name from rhhardon. Your butt pic does nothing for me.

readering म्हणाले...

I want to see a couple with the inverse size imbalance!

rcocean म्हणाले...

I was going to comment on the weirdness of Big guys marrying tiny women but then realized that when you're 6-9, there's no significant difference between a 62 inch woman and a 68 inch woman.

rcocean म्हणाले...

I feel sorry for guys over 6-5 who are NOT great athletes. Had a friend in college like that. Hitting your head on doorways, beds that don't fit, hard to find good clothes etc.

Plus, short punks trying to pick fights because you're tall. Of course, a certain number of women are attracted to VERY tall men.

readering म्हणाले...

Life expectancy inverse relation to height.

FleetUSA म्हणाले...

Does 6'9" go into 5'2" easily?

madAsHell म्हणाले...

It's gonna be a C-section!!

RK म्हणाले...

Proportionally, she's about the right size to be his beloved spaniel.

Shouting Thomas म्हणाले...

As my late wife would say: "Why settle for hamburger when you can have steak?"

Unknown म्हणाले...

Does Cersei Lannister know about this "marriage"?

Better still, does Ann know who Cersei Lannister is?

I wonder if they invited the actor who plays "the Hound"to the nuptials?
