Emma Heming’s Easter post this year was a sweet tribute to her husband Bruce Willis amid his ongoing battle with the brain disorder aphasia.

The wife of the Hollywood actor, 46, shared a short clip of Bruce, 70, dressed as the Easter bunny in his 1994 film North, talking to the movie’s тιтular character.

In the film, Bruce played the role of a series of benevolent advisors to North, who wants to divorce his parents because he feels undervalued by them.

In the scene shared to Instagram by Emma, Bruce is dressed in a fluffy bunny costume, he asks North who is he and the boy replies with his name.

Bruce replies that he has ‘seen his name on maps and that it was very impressive’, when asked who he is, Bruce says: ‘The Easter bunny, third floor, toys’.

It is one of the actor’s many beloved roles and Emma took the opportunity to shared a snippet of Bruce in the film to commemorate the holiday.
