Here's How Tall Emilia Clarke Really Is
You know that old adage about how the camera adds 10 pounds? Sometimes we stop to wonder if it adds 10 inches of height as well. When Emilia Clarke is slaying bad guys in "Game of Thrones," she makes for a pretty intimidating opponent. In real life, however, the British actress is quite petite, measuring only about 5 feet, 2 inches tall, per Stars Unfolded.
The actress' small stature isn't as noticeable when she's perched on top of a dragon, but it's definitely easy to see when she's standing next to her former co-star, Jason Momoa. He starred opposite Clarke in "Game of Thrones" as her on-screen husband Khal Drogo (via IMDb). Though Momoa's time on the show was short-lived, he and Clarke have maintained a close bond and have been photographed together on numerous occasions over the years (via People).
When Clarke and Momoa are together, their height difference is one of the first things to catch your attention. Momoa stands at an impressive 6 feet, 4 inches tall, which makes him over a foot taller than Clarke (via Showbiz CheatSheet). That's probably why it's so easy for Momoa to bench press her whenever the two reunite (via Instagram).
