'Theatre life!' Bruce Willis bonds with daughters Mabel and Evelyn in his dressing room before taking to Broadway stage

On stage he's the leading man, but behind the scenes Bruce Willis is just plain old daddy.

The 60-year-old spent some quality time with three-year-old Mabel Ray and 20-month-old Evelyn Penn in his dressing room before hitting the Broadway stage for the play, Misery on Sunday.

The photo was shared by his wife, 37-year-old Emma Heming-Willis, on her Instagram, which she captioned: '#TheaterLife @miserybroadway.'

The Die Hard actor stars as Paul Sheldon alongside Laurie Metcalf in the play, which is based on a novel by Stephen King.

The play runs eight times a week until concluding on February 14.

Before heading to the stage, the father-of-five poised for a picture while wearing a white T-shirt, jeans and sneakers with his youngest daughter, Evelyn, perched on his lap.
