I had the pleasure and privilege to provide security for Emilia Clarke in 2019. I can say in all honesty that she is smaller than 5'2". In fact, she's lucky if she's 5 feet tall or just a tad over. This is a very tiny girl! But she is by far the nicest, sweetest celebrity I've ever met as well as the most naturally beautiful.

Gorgeous short Dragon ..lol , Emilia Clarke is more like strong 5ft1" range.
I'd be surprised If she was as short as the 5ft she claimed .. still a hot woman no matter what her height is.

She's clearly at least 5'1", I wouldn't actually go below 5'1.5 because she does have a large head and weirdly small frame.
She's around 5'2" imo

Editor RobI don't think she's really that short, she could be in 5ft 1-2 zone though, but generally looks nearer to 2 inches taller than maisie williams than being the same 5ft size.

She doesn't look anything like 8 inches shorter than Mo Salah when pictured with him (that said, she might be wearing heels, but I doubt they're that big) 5ft 2, I'd say

Rob, if she says she's 5ft0 then isn't she? I mean, why would she downgrade herself? Usually short and average height people add to their height, only very tall people may lie they're shorter than they really are.
Here's a pick of her and Rose Leslie. To me, she looks like 10cm shorter than her.

Editor RobI think Maisie is a 5 footer, but Emilia seems taller than that with the rest of the cast...I'm sure on some occasions she has looked 5ft to 5ft 1 range though.

I think she has a good chance of being near her claim.

5'2" looks accurate. Though it's possible she's a tad shorter. Still beautiful.
I don't know if I'd want to be with a woman her height. I'm 6'1" and if I ever had children I'd prefer they were tall.

@A short girl, take it from a man, most of us prefer petite women anyway, and by petite, I mean the French word for small, in this case being stature. For example, I am 5'10, which is a pretty solid height but as always, I would like to be 2-3 inches taller, if I could. Strong 6ft would be nice, if I woke up at 6'1, I would be 6'0.5 midday, and could still claim 6'1.

Why she says "5' nothing"? I'd be very surprised if she was that short! Maybe she's a bit under 5'2 and nearer 5'1, as Balrog says, but I can't see her as short as 5'! There are several pictures of her with Rose Leslie (who I think is more around 5'4 than 5'4.5) and she can look no more than 2 inches shorter. She also seems comfortably taller than Maisie... 5'1-2 is quite possible but I wouldn't go under 5'1.
On GoT she does look taller, although I'm not sure what kind of heels she wears.

New interview with Time Magazine:
She says: “I’m 5-ft.-nothing, I’m a little girl,” she says. "I’ve got the face of a chubby six-year-old. You walk onto set and you’re like, 'Hey guys, I hope you like me! How can I help? What can I do? How can I be helpful?'
Im not sure if she is 5'0, she could be a bit taller, because she looks a bit taller than Maisie, who is around 5'0.

I think 5'2" is also a bit much for Emilia Clarke; I see her as 5'1", which will be my guess. Still, she's very lovely both physically and in personality.

She is no shorter than 157CM.. Rose Leslie who is listed as 164CM Looks to be not much taller than her. Emilia's shoes have a platform here and Rose is slightly bending, so I would say there is only two inches between them making Emilia a solid 5'2 with Rose being 5'4ish.

I'd say generally that is what they look but they can look variable. In one photo w/ Jason Momoa from the show's set, Benioff looks nearly 3 inches shorter and Weiss like 6-7 inches shorter...makes me wonder if Momoa somehow has an standing advantage. Other than that, Benioff can seem a smidge taller than Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Weiss seems taller than Pedro Pascal by something like 1.5-2 inches.

Looks tiny next to Jason Momoa in Game of Thrones, although I know that's intentional. However, I think Emilia looks much shorter than 5'3". Next to supposed 6'2.5" Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, she's in big 5-6 inch heels and he's still a head (his actual head [not face] is at least 10 inches) taller than her. He's also in flat shoes. 5'0" or 5'1" seems more accurate.
