London, June 22 (IANS) British music producer Mark Ronson says he used to change his accent to escape bullies during his school days.

‘I moved to New York (from London) when I was a kid and I remember having to change my accent to stop me from getting beaten up by other kids, so I’ve always had a lot of sympathy with Woody Allen’s character in (Zelig),’ femalefirst.co.uk quoted Ronson, 34, as saying.

‘It’s sort of a mockumentary, Woody Allen plays the lead and he changes his appearance depending on what group of people he’s with,’ he said.
