He may have some of the most beautiful women on the planet in his little black book but Marc Anthony says his dad sat him down when he was just a boy and told him he’d need to work on his personality because his couldn’t rely on his looks.

Awww.

Speaking on The Meredith Vieira Show in the US today, the 46-year-old singer explained: ‘My dad told me early on, “Son, we’re both ugly.” I swear to God, he says it to this day. He said you work on your personality. It builds character.’

Pretty harsh, right? However, J-Lo’s ex-hubby says he took the feedback in his stride.

Asked if his feelings were hurt, Anthony replied: ‘Absolutely not. I was bo looking at his face and he was right.’

Asked how he managed to tie down model Shannon de Lima, he joked: ‘I’m just great at marketing.’

The Puerto Rican singer was previously married to Miss Universe Dayanara Torres before he wed Jennifer Lopez.
