My dad calls me ugly: Marc Anthony

Los Angeles: Jennifer Lopez's ex-husband Marc Anthony has revealed his father tells him he looks ugly and advises him to work on his personality to become successful.

"My dad told me early on, he said, 'Son, we're both ugly,'. I swear to God, he says it to this day. And he goes, 'You work on your personality. It builds character'" the singer, 46, said on Tuesday's episode of The Meredith Vieira Show.

Anthony, however, did not take any offence to his father's comments. "Absolutely not. I was born looking at his face ? and he was right," he said jokingly.
