Bruce Willis' wife couldn't help but share a selection of sweet throwback posts of the star after he was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia.
Emma Heming took to Instagram on Wednesday to upload a number of memories, after not realising previously she was able to.
Adding to her Story, she wrote: "What's this new Memory thingy on IG!? Omg, my biggest fan. I'm in love with him."
The clip in question showed the Die Hard star, 67, saying he was "crazy" about his wife's skincare brand called Cocobaba.
It comes days after Emma announced she was working with dementia specialist Teepa Snow while Bruce continues to battle the disease.

Bruce's family announced his diagnosis last month in a number of emotional posts and statements, after first touching upon his condition a year ago.
A statement last posted on daughter Rumer's Instagram page read: "Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis.

"Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD)."
She continued to explain the pain the family felt but admitted they were pleased to finally have a clear diagnosis.
It's said directors had been forced to reduce the star's roles on set as his condition worsened.
