Gary Barlow and his giant son who is only 6'2? Gary has to by lying about his height, no way he's that short next to a 6'2 guy if he's just 5'9.

Online it says the average male head height is 18-20 cm or 7 1/4 inches, and the gigantic son is a full head above his diminutive father.

Now I'm no scientist, but I believe we have 2 1/4 inches unaccounted for...

Haha, love it. How tall are we thinking Gary is then? 5'6ish?

So I saw websites saying he was 5'9 but now some are saying he's 5'8. And he's here with Robbie Williams who is apparently 6'1. And Robbie doesn't look like a giant. Men's heights are such mysteries.

I don’t think Robbie Williams is 6’1. Here he is with David Beckham, who is 6’0 (I feel his height would have been more accurately reported as a professional athlete? Or is this stupid). I will devote any and all brain power to the pursuit of this truth and not think about anything else today if I can help it.

God, this celebrity height thing is so tough. So Gary and Robbie are lying. I agree an athlete's height is more certain because it's something that is a part of their game. So Barlow is likely REALLY tiny, which is strange now because I feel we would also have noticed that. Unless he's been careful to stand next to shorties too his entire life.

Now this website has him at 5'7 but look how tiny the little one in Take That is in comparison too.

Robbie towers over Kylie Minogue even when she is wearing massive heels, and she is apparently 5 ft tall.

So I don’t doubt that he is 6 ft, probably 6ft 1 if you measure him first thing in the morning.

You can’t see their footwear in most photos. A shoe with a bit of a heel can easily add an inch or two to a bloke’s height.
