Robbed Mark Ronson Thanked Muggers With Fist-Pound

DJ, producer and recording artist Mark Ronson had a scare when he was mugged while out in New York City one night. Luckily, Ronson himself escaped unharmed.

But while he's undoubtedly grateful to have only a few possessions taken away from him, Ronson recently admitted he's embarrassed over the incident. As he told the Times of London in a profile, he was so stunned by the events that he inadvertently thanked the criminals with a polite hand gesture as the muggers were standing around making plans.

"As they're coming to the end of mugging me, I'm still standing there and they're making their plans," Ronson explains. "One of them is, like, 'We'll meet you back at so-and-so's house,' and they knock fists together. And, because I had so many nerves running through me, I actually put my hand out and did the same. Like, 'Yeah, thanks for that.'"

The newly white-haired Ronson just released his third studio album, 'Record Collection.' He recently paid tribute to his friend the late DJ AM on Spinner.
