Uma Thurman’s self-reported height is about 5 ft 11 in (180 cm). The figure comes from an interview about her preparation for Kill Bill, rather than an independently documented measurement.
Thurman is the actress behind Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction and the Bride in the Kill Bill films. Her more recent action work includes Discord in The Old Guard 2.
What has Uma Thurman said about her height?
In Josh Tyrangiel’s September 29, 2003 TIME profile, Thurman describes herself as “like 5 ft. 11 in.” while discussing martial-arts training. The casual wording matters: this is her own approximate description, not a measurement certificate.
Klara Glowczewska’s 2015 Town & Country report also describes her as five-foot-eleven. It supplies a later published description, but no measurement method. 5 ft 11 in converts to 180.34 cm, rounded here to about 180 cm.
The festival photograph shows the setting and her appearance; it is not used to calculate height from posture or footwear.
From the Bride to Discord
In Netflix’s 2025 interview, Thurman discusses playing Discord in The Old Guard 2 and returning to sword work. It connects her later screen career with the action roles that helped establish her public image.
Her Tonight Show conversation covers Room to Grow and watching her daughter, actress and singer Maya Hawke, perform. The interview below provides personal and career context.
