“You can tell a lot by a person on who they crush on, looking back I didn't appreciate it, he was my annoying older brother, but now I realize he was cooler than I thought. It was me who didn't get it,” Ryan Gosling’s ladylove added.

"I still can't believe it, it's gonna be 8 years since he passed. Unreal,” the younger brother of the Ghost Rider actor, Carlo Mendez, commented on the post.”

Mendes, earlier also revealed bitter-sweet relationship with the month of April.

"Oh April… I have such a complicated relationship with you," wrote Mendes. "Tomorrow would have been my brother's birthday…..in a couple of weeks from now is the day we lost him…but then, the end of April we got the biggest blessing of all, my little girl was born 8 years ago. I hate you April. But I love you more," wrote Mendes on Instagram.
