Let it all hang out and embrace the ’dad bod’

A paunch used to be frowned upon but it’s now trending as men bid goodbye to endlessly pumping iron at the gym and embrace their dad bods, writes Dave Robbins.

I’ve never chased fashion, fame or celebrity. But now, for reasons I don’t fully understand, I find myself bang on-trend.
