“I came from the theatre where that’s all you have when you present yourself on stage — the last thing you want to do is hide as you come on,” Weaver, 76, said in a new interview with Empire published on Friday, November 7. “You have to embrace whatever you are.”
The New York native, who is currently promoting the third film in James Cameron’sAvatar saga, Fire and Ash, continued, “I had a very short mother, she was 5’ 2, 3” — English, too! — and she used to say, ‘You’re going to be so happy you’re tall.’”
Weaver added that, as a teenager, she “couldn’t imagine” loving her height but said that she “grew into it.”

This isn’t the first time Weaver has spoken about how her height had potentially affected roles she didn’t get. In 2016, she opened up about how she rarely played “pretty people” because that “wasn’t what she was about.”
“I’m a weird duck, because I was never a ‘girlfriend,’” Weaver told The Guardian at the time. “I was always too tall to be the girlfriend. So I didn’t have to say goodbye to my sexual self and hello to my executive self. There aren’t as many women’s roles as men’s, but I’ve never envied men their roles. Women’s are more interesting.”
From Alien to Ghostbusters to Avatar, Weaver’s roles have run the gamut. Fans can catch her in Avatar: Fire and Ash when it hits theaters next month.
