When we say the words 'Bruce Willis', what runs through your mind?

His tough guy persona and leather biker jacket to match in Pulp Fiction? His iconic 'Yippie-Ki-Yay' line from Die Hard? His 'I'm confused but let's go with it' stare when the kid in The Sixth Sense says sees dead people?

Well, prepare to see the 62-year-old in a whole new light because a photograph has just emerged of the film star having his nails painted by his daughter.

Because, of course, there's nothing wrong with a mani-pedi once in a while.

Fans of the star - who is father to five girls in total, sharing three older daughters with ex-wife Demi Moore - couldn't help but gush about Willis.

'THIS is a real epic man, a real epic dad! Too many men let their ego get in the way of being their best parent,' commented one of his wife's Instagram followers.

'Awww Bruce...what an awesome dad you are!' wrote another.

In a snap shared to Instagram by his wife, Emma Heming Willis, the Looper actor can be seen patiently waiting for his five-year-old daughter, Mabel Ray, to paint his fingernails and adorn his fingers with stickers.

'#nailart #dadofgirls,' Emma captioned the adorable post.

The post comes weeks after the actor was photographed in a christmas photo with his wife and two youngest daughters, Evelyn and Mabel.

In 2013, the proud father told the Mail on Sunday's You magazine: 'I worship women, and I have always felt safer when I am around them.

'Women are much smarter than men - I conceded that a long time ago.

'Women should be in charge of everything - they should be the presidents of every country in the world. Guys can't compete, they just kind of run through life messing things up.'

Who are we to argue with Bruce Willis, right?
