A 6'7 fitness trainer has gained thousands of swooning fans across the globe after a Twitter user spotted an image of his very hunky frame online and compared it to a large tree - earning him the viral nickname 'Tree Man'.

Danny Jones, 31, is a personal trainer from Southern California, who has a popular Instagram account where he regularly shows off his hulking 275lb frame.

Recently, the account caught the eye of Twitter user @vickto_willy, who shared a pair of images on her own account, including one of Danny struggling to duck under a ceiling while climbing down the stairs, and another of him dwarfing every appliance in a kitchen.

Tall guy problems: Danny Jones, 31, a personal trainer from Southern California, has become an online sensation thanks to his size

Just hanging out: Danny is 6'7 and has a 275lb frame that has led to some social media users to dub him 'Tree Man'

Picking it up: He caught the eye of Twitter user @vickto_willy, who shared this pair of images, which have since gone viral

'This not a man, this a tree,' she wrote along with the pair of images.

Somehow the images make Danny appear even taller than his lofty 6'7, and quickly grabbed the attention of other users on the site.

While his sheer size was the initial joke of the tweet, what followed was a stream of new fans commenting on Danny's good looks, with plenty of variations of: 'I'd climb that tree.'

Showing off: The user later directed fans to Danny's Instagram account, where he shares plenty of scantily clad photos for his followers

Handy: Some users marveled at Danny's ability to fix lighting fixtures without so much as standing on his tiptoes

Big man: The original tweet has been shared more than 21,000 times and gained 38,000 likes

Little to the imagination: Those directed to his Instagram were also treated to photos of the fitness trainer walking around the house in nothing but skintight underwear

Of course, some of the cruder users went straight to speculations over a particular part of his anatomy using gifs, such as one of a hamster nibbling a banana.

Others marveled at his ability to use his size around the house, such as changing ceiling light bulbs or fixing high-up appliances without needing a stepladder.

SO far, the tweet has been shared more than 21,000 times and gained over 38,000 likes.

Later on, @vikto_willy took to Twitter once again to share with her followers the identity of 'Tree Man'.

'Here's his @. Go plant some seeds,' she wrote, including Danny's Instagram handle.

Covering up, kind of: The former basketball player's size led some cruder users to speculate about a certain part of his anatomy

Bit of a squeeze: Danny looks comical as he tries to fit his muscular frame into a tiny airplane bathroom

Barely fit: This bed looks much smaller than it likely is with Danny laying on top of it

What was in store for fans enthralled by the two viral images was plenty more, even more revealing shots, including ones of Danny traipsing around his house in his underwear or showing off his muscles in the gym.

Danny was none the wiser until he woke up the next day with thousands of new fans on Instagram, he told Daily Mail Online.

'So, the last 24 hours has been absolutely crazy. I went to bed the night before last just like any other but woke up to 8k new Instagram followers. I thought it was a glitch in the system,' he said. 'I already had a fairly large following, but that rate of growth was unheard of. I had NO idea where all these people came from.

'Then, I started getting tons of "tree" comments, haha. I was so confused. Finally, through talking to someone in my DMs, I was linked to the [BuzzFeed] article. The Tree Man was born. It's been super fun and hilarious to see all the memes, articles and comments this is getting!'
