Mark Ronson has started going to the gym because he hates his arms. The music producer, who is widely considered a trendsetter, has never been happy with his arms and his body hang-ups have prevented him wearing certain items of clothing.

“Even at 24, I wouldn’t wear T-shirts because I hated the way my arms looked. I worked out on and off until I was about 30, then I got bored, or lazy. Now I’m 33 I feel it’s time to start doing something a little bit more healthy.”

Mark enjoys sporting smart outfits when he is working on new material in the recording studio and uses fashion to show he is serious about his work: “I dress up to come to the studio. Looking at old pictures of the Blue Note session guys or Phil Spector, going to work to do a job. The Abbey Road guys even wore lab coats. I haven’t tried that look out yet.”

Mark has also spoken about the line of sneakers he has created for Gucci. The music star insists his collection with the Italian fashion house is nothing like Kanye West‘s footwear collaboration with Louis Vuitton: “My shoes are from the 30s and his are from the future.”
