The seeds for this viral moment were actually planted back in June, when British star Gary Barlow posted a family photo to his Instagram story in honor of Father’s Day.
For context, 53-year-old Gary first found fame in the ‘90s as the lead singer of the hugely successful boy band Take That. He was also a judge on the British version of The X Factor between 2011 and 2013.
On Monday, an X user came across Gary’s photo in a news article and shared it with their followers after being left surprised by the stark height difference between Gary and his 24-year-old son, Dan.
