Mark Ronson Apologizes for Saying He Identifies as Sapiosexual

Mark Ronson is speaking out to clarify the comment he recently made about identifying as sapiosexual.

The 44-year-old Oscar and Grammy-winning music producer apologized to anyone who thought he considered himself part of a marginalized community.

Mark explained that during an interview on Good Morning Britain, the hosts brought up the term sapiosexual.

“They’re like, ‘Mark, how do you feel about sapiosexuality?’ And I’m like, ‘What is it?’ And it’s like, ‘Well, when you’re attracted to intelligence.’ And I was like, ‘That sounds great. Of course, who wouldn’t be?’” Mark told Rolling Stone. “And they were like basically like, ‘OK, Mark Ronson identifies himself as sapiosexual, that’s great.’”

“It sounds like I went on a TV show to be like, ‘Guys, I have some big news!’ And the fact that I would go on and sort of declare myself — like as a heterosexual white male — part of any marginalized community was terrifying to me, or just embarrassing,” Mark said.

He continued, “I do not consider myself part of any marginalized community and I apologize if anybody misunderstood or took offense to it.”
