Gary Barlow’s rare family photo shocks fans as son towers over him

Gary Barlow’s rare family photo spurs online amusement over his son’s height and dad’s eye-catching outfit choice.

Singer Gary Barlow surprised fans by sharing a rare family photo that quickly sparked social media reactions. The Take That star, 53, posted a picture with his son Daniel, 24, and daughters Emily, 22, and Daisy, 15. 

However, it was Daniel's height that captured the most attention, with fans pointing out that at 6’2”, he towers over his father, who is 5’8”. One Twitter user quipped, “Gary Barlow's massive son is the reason Twitter was made for,” while another referenced a famous scene from 'Lord of the Rings,' likening Daniel to a Viking figure beside his father.

Barlow’s choice of a vibrant blue and cream outfit with butterfly embellishments also drew comments. A user joked, “There needs to be some discussion on Gary’s trousers and shirt combo.” While fans noted the family’s resemblance, many were more amused by Daniel’s height, with one writing, “All the tweets about Gary Barlow's massive son just confirm how easily amused I am.” The playful online response to Barlow’s post shows his fans' affection for both his music and his family.

The singer, who rarely shares family photos, inadvertently created a moment of amusement across social media, as fans responded with humor and fondness for the unexpected family insight.
