Gary Barlow’s son’s height revealed after Take That star reveals why kids have shunned fame for normal jobs
GARY Barlow’s fans were left blinking when the pop legend shared a snap of his family, showing off his giant son.
The singer’s eldest boy Daniel, 24, went viral online when he was seen towering over Gary in the family photo.
The Take That star, 53, shares son Daniel, 24, and daughter Emily, 22, and Daisy, 15, with Dawn Andrews, who he married in 2000.
Daniel stood next to his famous dad, as his mum and sister cuddled up next to them.
The lad’s height has now been revealed – and he’s nowhere near making it into the Guinness Book of World Records.
While it is above average for men in the UK, Daniel is far shorter than the tallest man in the world.
In fact, he’s only a few inches taller than the average height of British men, which is 5”9.
Daniel is 6”2, but looked gagantuan compared to his dad Gary, who stands at 5”7.
Their height isn’t the only big difference between them, as Gary revealed his children have decided to snub fame.
The Rule The World singer revealed: “The two oldest ones, Daniel and Emily, have kind of gone into medicine and physiology – studying strength and conditioning – and 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.”
He continued to the Mirror: “I don’t think they will follow in my music footsteps but I wouldn’t have discouraged them though if they did want to, it’s been a good business for me.
“Every day I still enjoy what I do and when you realise you’re making a living from it, it’s a great, great place to be.
“Many roles in ‘showbiz’ are just wonderful, there’s definitely a much harder world out there than the one I’m in I think.”
The 90s heartthrob often keeps his family life private and away from the spotlight.
The singer is married to Dawn Andrews – a backup dancer who was on tour with Take That in 1995.
After five years together, the pair married in 2000, and have remained together ever since.
Gary and Dawn were were left devastated in 2012 following the stillbirth of their daughter Poppy.
The star opened up about Poppy’s tragic death in his autobiography last year, explaining: “For anyone who has been through anything like this I think it’s something you accept you’re going to be dealing with the rest of your life.
“In a strange way you don’t want it to end because it’s one of the few things you have to remind you of the person that’s not there.
“In some ways the pain and the grief brings you closer to them.”
Earlier this year, burglars targeted the Barlow home while he was away for the weekend filming with Take That for Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.
The gang swooped on the £6million country pile a day after the group performed on the penultimate episode of the last series.
