Have you ever wondered why Barron Trump is so tall?

Barron Trump is considerably taller than both Donald and Melania, but the president has revealed the 'real' reason behind his enormous height.

During Trump's inauguration earlier this week (20 January) - which was attended by a number of celebrities - the president handed the spotlight over to his youngest child Barron for a moment.

The 18-year-old was present during his father's election campaign, and reportedly played a huge part in the Republicans winning the election.

According to Trump, Barron helped them win the 'youth vote', after advising the 78-year-old which podcasts to appear as a guest on.

Throughout his campaign, Trump spoke openly on the Joe Rogan Experience and Impaulsive hosted by Logan Paul, and had a huge presence on TikTok.

But viewers couldn't help but notice the vast height difference between him and his son, despite Trump being pretty tall himself - measuring 6 feet 3 inches.

His teen son visibly towers over him, prompting many to wonder, firstly, the height difference between the pair and, secondly, just how he got so massive.

"How frickin' tall is Barron Trump???" one X user penned. "His father is 6'3" and the kid towers over him! There's gotta be giants' blood in that family."

Another asked: "How the hell is Barron trump sooo tall."

"It really is insane how tall Barron Trump is!" declared a final X user.

Well, Barron is reportedly a staggering 6 feet 7 inches - a whole four inches taller than his dad.

And, according to the Irish Star, there's a very clear reason behind his huge stature.

The outlet reports that Barron is so tall due to his diet growing up after being prepared meals by his grandmother, Melania's late mother, Amalia Knavs.

Trump revealed on the Impaulsive podcast: "That's how he got so tall; he only ate her food.

"I said you're gonna be a basketball player. He said, well, 'I like soccer, Dad, actually'. I thought... 'at your height, I like basketball better', but you can't talk them into everything."

But he wasn't the only 'tall son' who went viral in 2024.

The internet was sent into a frenzy after 54-year-old Take That star Gary Barlow shared a snap of his own child.

Amid all the jokes online, many social media users were keen on figuring out the exact height of Daniel, 24.

Now, Gary is a pretty average 5 feet 7 inches tall.

Daniel, on the other hand, is reportedly a pretty tall 6 feet 2 inches - towering a fairly sizeable eight inches taller.

That may surprise you, given that 6 feet 2 inches isn't actually that tall - or at least not that 'massive' that it's sparked a nation-wide frenzied hype online.
