Physical characteristics often play a significant role in selecting actors in the film industry. Many successful and talented actors like Clarke are relatively short compared to their co-stars like Jason Momoa who is 6 feet and 4 inches tall. Despite that, Emilia Clarke’s Game of Thrones character, Daenerys Targaryen is a dominant and ferocious presence on the screen, proving that an actor’s physical attributes do not dictate their impact.

Her height may have influenced certain directorial decisions, such as camera angles or the positioning of actors in certain scenes to create the desired visual dynamic. However, these are common practices while filming to emphasize particular aspects of a character or scene, regardless of the actors’ actual heights. This means that the perception of a character’s presence is as much a creation of the camera as it is of the actor’s performance.

In her career, her roles have been unaffected by the height disparity between Emilia Clarke and her co-stars. For example, she started off in Game of Thrones alongside Jason Momoa who is much taller than her and even Kit Harrington. Yet, the performance delivered by Kit Harrington and Emilia Clarke was just as captivating. The Mother of Dragons had the same confidence and showcased just how much the actress loved her character.

Similarly, in her movies, Me Before You and Terminator Genisys, her counterparts Sam Claflin and Arnold Schwarzenegger respectively, are quite tall. This did not subtract anything from the chemistry and dynamic they shared. Clarke’s adaptability and skill in playing various characters show that in acting, it’s more often than not the portrayal that counts, not physical attributes.
