Michael Buble opens up about violent temper

Singer Michael Buble has shocked fans by revealing he has been "prone to violence" since childhood and often struggles to control his temper.

The Canadian crooner has opened up about his dark side in a new interview, admitting he has been battling anger issues for many years.

He tells Britain's Event magazine, "I think I'm a kind, generous, gentle soul who's an egotistical, hard f**king a**hole... I was prone to violence as a kid, and I'll tell you now, I'm not a big man - I'm about 5 foot 10 inches and weigh about 160 pounds - but I could do it again, and probably will. And shouldn't and have every reason not to and everything to lose - but probably will do it again."

The singer adds, "I just don't have a filter. I just don't. It makes me angry to even think about diverting myself from something that I need to say."
