About

Gary Barlow's Massive Son, also known as Gary Barlow's Son, refers to the son of British popstar Gary Barlow named Daniel Barlow who went viral in November 2024, when a photo of him and his dad spread on Twitter / X. Users joked about how much taller he was than his dad. In reality, his son's only 6'2". Regardless, memes about the height of Gary Barlow's son spread en masse, predominantly focused on his comically large size.

Origin

On June 18th, 2023, Gary Barlow posted a blurry picture to his Instagram story that showed himself with his wife Dawn and two kids, including his son Daniel. The photo was posted in honor of Father's Day. Barlow captioned the image, "Father's Day is the one day I think I'm allowed to post pics of the fam hey????" (shown below).[1]

The original "Instagram":https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/instagram story posted by "British":https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/british-people-briish popstar Gary Barlow on Father's Day 2023, showing himself with his family. On Barlow's left is his son Daniel who looks massive but is only 6"2". The image inspired many memes about Gary Barlow's son in November 2024.

On August 25th, 2023, Redditor[2] Spaff-Badger reposted the image to /r/AbsoluteUnits, gaining 23 upvotes in a year.

The image didn't receive viral attention until late 2024, following a post shared by X[3] user @cantseyy on November 4th, who captioned the image, "Gary Barlow's son is scared, he doesn't know why he's so big," receiving over 14,000 likes in three days (shown below).
