Mark Ronson has revealed an encounter with Hollywood star Charlize Theron left him in no doubt about the actress' bad taste in music at a recent party.
The producer and occasional DJ was playing a celebrity party recently, he tells OK magazine, when Theron's people began approaching him with their own unusual requests.
"I was DJ-ing in Milan and it had taken a while to get everyone on the dancefloor," says Ronson. "I finally did and then this guy runs up to me and says, 'Charlize Theron wants you to play some disco reggae.' I didn't even know what that was meant to be so I ignored it. Then 20 minutes later the same guy says, 'Charlize wants you to play some dancehall reggae.' I knew if I played that it would clear the dancefloor. Then Charlize came up to me herself and asked why I wasn't playing it.
"It was all a bit weird, she nearly got the poor guy fired who was running the party!"
