Donald Trump, Vitalii Klychko and more: 5 heirs that have grown way taller than their famous parents. Photo

It is not only genetics that affects a child's height. There are other equally important factor, namely the quality of nutrition (especially in preschool and adolescence), the state of hormones (growth, sex, and thyroid ones), and the presence or absence of mutations in genes. Kristeen Cherney, PhD, a researcher of mental disorders, wrote about this in Healthline Media. That is why it is not always possible to predict the final height of a child: sometimes nature makes its own adjustments, and the child becomes taller or shorter than parents.

In the material of OBOZ.UA, we have prepared a selection of famous heirs who have way outgrown their parents. Take a look at the photos - you will be surprised.

1. Daniel Barlow

In early November 2024, British composer, producer, and Take That frontman Gary Barlow posted a family photo on Instagram. In it, followers noticed that his son Daniel was significantly taller than his father, and they started sharing memes about it. One user compared Barlow the elder to a tiny elf, and the younger to the giant Buddy Hobbes (both characters from the movie Elf (2003)). Another posted a photo on X (formerly Twitter) in which the star dad poses near a car (the photo is cropped so that only part of the vehicle is visible) and wrote "Gary Barlow behind his sons sunglasses."

So, 24-year-old Daniel Barlow, a medical doctor by profession, has become a real Internet sensation! How tall is he? As a professional basketball player at the NBA (National Basketball Association) level, he is 1.87 meters tall. His dad is 1.75 meters tall.

2. Barron Trump

The height of the 45th President of the United States Donald Trump, who confidently won the election in 2024 (inauguration is scheduled for January 20, 2025), is 1.9 m, and his wife, the 45th First Lady of the United States Melania Trump, is 1.8 m. The couple has an only son, 18-year-old Barron William Trump. He has significantly outgrown his parents! His height is 2.06 m. The newly elected US president is convinced that this is because Barron ate all the food that his grandmother, Melania's mother Amalija Knavs, cooked for him.

3. Dylan Brosnan

Irish actor and producer Pierce Brosnan, best known for his role as James Bond, and American journalist Keeley Shaye Smith are the parents of two children, 23-year-old Pierce and 27-year-old Dylan. The star dad is 1.86 m tall, and the mom is 1.73 m tall. The exact height of their youngest son is unknown, but the photo shows that he is slightly taller than his father. Dylan has significantly outgrown his relatives: he is 1.96 meters tall.

4. Ireland Baldwin

American fashion model and actress Ireland Baldwin is the daughter of film and television actor Alec Baldwin, as well as actress and model Kim Basinger. The woman easily decided on the field of activity because she inherited beauty from both parents and height from her father. So, Baldwin Sr. is 1.83 m tall, his ex-wife (the couple divorced in 2002) is 1.71 m tall, and Ireland is 1.85 m tall. In the red carpet photos, it seems that the daughter is much taller than her siblings, but the secret of the illusion is simple: high heels.

5. Vitalii Klychko's children

Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klychko has three heirs from his ex-wife, singer and model Natalia Yehorova. The couple was married for over 25 years and announced their divorce in August 2022. It is known that all the children grew way taller than their mother and stocky father. Let's get down to the facts. The mayor of Kyiv is 2.01 m tall, his ex-girlfriend is 1.75 m tall, 21-year-old Yelyzaveta-Victoria is 2.04 m tall, 24-year-old Yehor-Daniel is 2.02 m tall, and 19-year-old Maksym (the youngest child in the family) is 2.16 m tall.
