Funny enough, Lia and Roman aren't the only Anthonys to catch the attention of social media, because their father's name had people blown away.

As it turns out, their father is "Anthony Anthony." And, wait for it, his brother is: Anthony Anthony Jr. An instant classic.

We'll have to see what is next for the Anthony family as Roman looks to live up to the high expectations that have followed him throughout his career, but it looks like the family was just born for superstardom.
