Calvin Harris showed off his Hollywood glow when he arrived in Miami Beach on Thursday.
The 39-year-old DJ has changed quite a bit since his early days in the industry.
Calvin looked a far cry from his days as a “spotty, awkward, extremely lanky teenager” as he flaunted his muscular physique.
The 6ft 5in musician showed off his torn abs as he went shirtless for a walk on the beach, wearing a pair of black board shorts.
His blonde hair was styled to perfection and the handsome hunk sported a bronzed tan as he made the most of the sunny Miami weather.

Calvin looked worlds away when he first got into the industry.
The Ready For The Weekend hitmaker, who is the highest paid DJ in the world, has invested in his personal gigs over the years.
Back when he released his debut album I Created Disco in 2007, Dumfries-born Calvin – real name Adam Wiles – was a pale and scruffy brunette who favored a worn leather jacket, hooded tops and baggy jeans.
But roll on a few years and the award-winning producer, who is signed to music company Three Six Zero, dropped hair color, hired a stylist and started working out. A lot.
Living in LA seems to have helped: “The food here is amazing. You can eat healthy, there are a lot more healthy options than in the UK – that’s a fact,’ he told The Sun when he moved there in 2012.
His daily routine now includes eggs for breakfast (“protein omelette with smoked salmon and spinach for protein, fiber and omega-3”) and a trip to the gym before hitting the gym.
Calvin also learned to love his greatness. In the past, the sublime chart-topper has admitted to being bullied at school for being different: “It was hard being top of the class.
“Especially when you’re a teenager. You wanna keep your head down I did it anyway. When you’re a spotty, awkward teenager, you don’t want people looking at you. It’s a confident thing.

“It’s just part of growing up, coming to terms with who I am as a person”: In 2012, Calvin decided to give up his hair dye and embrace his natural blonde hair (pictured in 2013)
“Everyone looks at you because you’re particularly lanky. It’s only in the last five years that I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m a big, big bugger,” he said in 2009.
But the biggest difference with Calvin’s look was that in 2012 he embraced his natural blonde hair. “I just don’t have time for this shit in my life anymore, and as I’m approaching 30, I don’t think it’s a good thing for a man to do,” he said at the time.
“It’s just part of growing up, finding my bearings as a person and not doing that shit anymore. I prefer my more natural look. If someone doesn’t do that, they would prefer something that isn’t actually real – so it’s like preferring an imaginary idea of someone who doesn’t exist. Either you like it or you don’t like it.’
Meanwhile, Calvin’s fiancé, Vick Hope, revealed how she had previously rebuffed his advances.
Vick said Calvin first attacked her when he had his first hit with his ’80s hit Acceptable in 2007 – but she dismissed him at the time.
Back on her Capital radio show before her romance with Calvin, Ronan Kemp said, “Calvin Harris has one of the best glow-ups I’ve ever seen. Oh my god a photo of Calvin Harris 10 years ago to now.
She said: “Why are you asking me that, you know how I feel about it. I was shallow. I was 19 and I said ‘no’. I started with either Scouting For Girls or The Wombats. I don’t know which.
‘They were there. I thought they would be bigger. But no, it turned out that Calvin Harris would turn into an Adonis.
Calvin proposed to Vick last year after a whirlwind five-month romance with a giant diamond ring under a tree on his 138-acre Ibiza farm, Terra Masia.
