In a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone, Emilia Clarke shared that she and Jason Momoa were meant to be — and it was something she realized the first time they met at a hotel in Belfast, where the entire "Game of Thrones" cast was staying. "I walked in and from the other side of this enormous lobby, I hear 'WIFEY!'" Clarke explained. "And this huge Hawaiian man comes bounding over to me, picks me up, and genuinely gets me in a rugby tackle to the floor. It was only when he picked me back up and kind of dusted me off that I was like, 'Who are you?'" Clarke's not exaggerating when she calls Momoa "huge." A quick Google search reveals that the "Me Before You" star is only 5-foot-2, while Momoa stands at 6-foot-2. In a 2019 Instagram post that showed Clarke posing with her onscreen husband, she later wrote, "With you I feel 2 feet small."
When Clarke recounted her first meeting with Momoa to "Armchair Expert," she again reiterated his size. "I mean physically bowled over," she said. "When he first met me, he [literally] wrestled me to the ground. I was so English before then, I had never been greeted [that way]. I'd never met anyone his size [before], let alone his size of personality." Despite being initially taken aback, it was the kind of greeting that would endear Momoa to Clarke for life.
