Emilia Clarke stands at 5 feet 2 inches tall (1.57 m).
She herself once said in a 2017 interview, "I'm 5-ft.-nothing, I'm a little girl" — suggesting she may even round herself down slightly.
Despite her petite frame, Clarke has played some of the most powerful characters in modern television and film. Her Game of Thrones character Daenerys Targaryen was a dominant, ferocious presence on screen — proving that physical height has no bearing on on-screen impact.
Quick Facts:
- Height: 5'2" (157 cm)
- Born: October 23, 1986, London, England
- Weight: ~52 kg (115 lbs)
- Known for: Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys, Qi'ra in Solo: A Star Wars Story
Why does Emilia Clarke's height matter to fans?
Many of her co-stars are significantly taller — Jason Momoa stands at 6'4", and Arnold Schwarzenegger towers over her in Terminator Genisys — yet the chemistry and dynamic between Clarke and her co-stars has always been compelling and never diminished by height difference.
In acting, presence beats inches — and Clarke is proof.
