The internet was set alight over the past week - and not only because of the US presidential election. In the UK, social media users were marvelling over the height of Gary Barlow's son - 24-year-old Daniel - after the Take That star shared a family photo of his son towering over him.
The singer tends to keep his personal life out of the spotlight, but the family photo posted on Instagram caused a storm online, with the post being viewed more than six million times. The 53-year-old, who throughout his career reportedly raked in a whopping £90million fortune, barely reaches his son's shoulder in the wholesome photo, which Gary originally posted to mark Father's Day in June 2023.
Gary, who shares Daniel, 24, Emily, 22, and Daisy, 15, with his wife of 25 years Dawn Andrews, was labelled a 'short king' next to his 6'2 son, despite only being a few inches shorter than average at 5'7. However, it's not just the Barlow family that have a noticeable height difference, with several celebrity children known for being taller than their parents.

Bear Grylls middle son, 18-year-old Marmaduke, dwarfs his 5'11 adventurer father at 6'4, and 5'11 supermodel Kendall Jenner is much the same when stood next to her 5' 6 'momager' Kris Jenner. Here, Femail reveals the children of celebrities who, like Gary Barlow's son Daniel, tower of their parents.
