Gary Barlow, the iconic frontman of Take That, might be known for his music, but lately, it’s his staggeringly enormous son who’s making waves online.
Known for being relatively private about his personal life, Gary gave fans a rare glimpse into his family dynamics with a recent post that quickly turned into an internet sensation.
His 24-year-old son Daniel’s impressive 6’2″ height, especially when contrasted with his dad’s own modest 5’7″ height, became the talk of social media, sparking countless memes and jokes.
Now, a resurfaced 2019 clip of Gary and Daniel in the gym has gone viral. In the post, Gary jokes about the noticeable ‘size gap.’
He wrote under the post: ‘Don’t look at the difference in weights. Don’t notice that I’m stood a little further forward to make the size gap smaller. Lol.’
The meme first started when Gary shared a photo of himself with Daniel and his youngest daughter, Daisy, during a family holiday.

The wholesome snap celebrated Father’s Day and showed Gary and his family in a relaxed setting. In his caption, Gary joked about his rare family post, saying, ‘Father’s Day is the one day I think I’m allowed to post pics of the fam, hey???’
Daniel’s height quickly became a viral topic, leading to a flurry of light-hearted tweets comparing the Barlows’ height difference.
The meme likely took off the way it did because it was a welcome and absurd distraction from the anxiety surrounding the recent election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States.

Despite his dad’s fame, Daniel has shied away from the spotlight, choosing instead to focus on his education in medicine.
Recently, Gary celebrated another one of Daniel’s accomplishments: completing an Ironman competition, an incredible physical feat.
Gary praised his son’s hard work and determination, commenting: ‘We just couldn’t be prouder of our boy.’
