British musician Gary Barlow has recently left the internet in splits with a family picture he uploaded ahead of the holiday season. The picture featured Barlow with his wife Dawn, and his two children, Daniel and Emily.

However, what left fans gobsmacked was the striking height difference between Gary Barlow and his firstborn, Daniel. While the popular singer stands at 5'7, his son towered over him, standing tall at 6'2. Since he was standing next to his father in the picture, the height difference became all the more noticeable.

What followed was a barrage of memes about how tall Daniel Barlow is and outlandish images of day-to-day interactions between the father-son duo.

These include examples of how Gary Barlow must be handing a straw to his son, ordering cans for his son, and checking the temperature of his son's bath, among others.

Gary or Daniel Barlow have not made any comments about the memes, but the memes have been getting progressively funnier with time.


Gary Barlow and his wife have struggled with the loss of a child in the past

British musician Gary Barlow has three children with his wife, Dawn. His firstborn is his son, Daniel (24). They welcomed a girl named Emily (22) after a couple of years, followed by another girl named Daisy (15).

The couple was ready to welcome their fourth child, a daughter named Poppy in 2012. However, Gary later took to social media to announce that the child, unfortunately, was stillborn. At the time, the singer said this in a statement:

“Dawn and I are devastated to announce that we’ve lost our baby. Our focus now is giving her a beautiful funeral and loving our three children with all our hearts. We’d ask at this painful time that our privacy be respected."

Gary and Dawn Barlow dated for five years before tying the knot in 2000, and have been together ever since.

Although fans had expected Barlow's children to follow his footsteps, given his success, Daniel and Emily have both decided to go for other career paths. While Barlow is a music sensation, his children have opted for careers in the field of medicine and physiology.
