Meet Gary Barlow’s son, a very normal guy whose face is now all over the internet

Gary Barlow’s son has become an internet icon thanks to his ridiculous height, although he’s not actually that tall – his dad is just small.

The normal twentysomething is one of the biggest memes of the year after an image the Take That singer posted on Instagram on Father’s Day resurfaced online.

In the snap, he’s standing with his wife and two of his children, one of which looks like a giant, towering over his dad by a whole head.

So, who is Gary’s mega-viral son, whose face you’ve seen more times than your own this week? Here’s everything we know about him.

If, like me, you were wondering what all the massive Gary Barlow son-inspired tweets were about, it's a little less cryptic than you might have assumed – he literally has a massive son. I mean, genuinely really massive. pic.twitter.com/vjH6xZbXqd

Who is Gary Barlow’s son?

He’s called Daniel Barlow, a very normal 24-year-old who isn’t in the limelight himself.

The Tab did a little digging and worked out he went to the University of Birmingham via some grad photos.

He must be really smart because Gary once told The Mirror that Daniel works in medicine.

Apart from that, he’s just an ordinary guy with a normal job who lives away from showbiz, except for the odd post from his dad online and now, thousands of memes.

The singer has three children

Daniel is the eldest of three. Emily, 22, is the middle child, followed by Daisy, 15.

Emily has gone into physiology, studying strength and conditioning, and Daisy is yet to embark on a career.

“My youngest one, Daisy, I’m not too sure what she’s heading for but again, she’s very studious… unlike me and my wife,” the Take That singer said.

In August 2012, he also welcomed a fourth child, Poppy, who was sadly stillborn.

He shares them all with his wife of 25 years Dawn, who he first met in 1990 when she was hired for one of Take That’s music videos. How crazy!

Five years later, she then joined one of their tours, which is when they got to know each other. They got married four years later and the rest is history.

They’re still super in love, and he gushed about her on The Imperfects podcast earlier this year, saying: “She’s really special, really special.”

“She’s a no-nonsense mum. She brought our kids up, I didn’t. I do this job which is bloody all encompassing, I travel all round the world, she gave up her job to bring our kids up,” he continued.

“Left her dreams to one side and I got to do mine still. She’s done a brilliant job, everyone who meets our kids always says how great they are. She’s a wonderful woman, she’s pretty tough on me, I’ve got to be honest. She’s the real deal.”

Wow, who would’ve thought you’d be getting clued up about Gary Barlow’s love life all thanks to his tall son.
