Jennifer Lopez's 'the boss' admits husband Marc Anthony

Marc Anthony is the first one to admit that when it comes to his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, his wife is the one in charge.

Speaking at the premiere of their movie El Cantante, which Lopez, 38, also produced, Anthony admitted that he is the one who takes a backseat.

"She's always been the boss! I don't know what's changed," People quoted him, as saying.

"That's the first thing a man has to know. Absolutely, no question about it," he added.

In the film, Anthony portrays Puerto Rican salsa pioneer Hector Lavoe, and Lopez plays his wife Puchi.

He told OK! magazine in an interview that it was a ‘scary’ experience being a couple and working together.

“It was scary. Pucci was scary, man. It was something I could hold over her head in our personal lives. Like ‘aw, aw, I see Pucci coming through.’ She’d say ‘are you going to act like Hector all day or are you going to get up and do something?’ Little jokes,” he told the mag.

Anthony was also all praise for JLo’s performance in the movie.

“I think she deserves all the respect in the world, all the kudos in the world. Her performances – and I’m a bit of a critic – I call what I see, I don’t fluff anything – I don’t know if you know that – I’m very clear. I saw her performance, and I was just blown away,” he said.

“You have to understand the process of reading something on paper, and believing why the character’s saying it. It just pours from the screen. Her commitment is second to nothing I’ve ever witnessed. I’ll be totally honest with you. I’m just so proud of her,” he added.
