Josh Brolin on Doing LSD at 13, Wild Dinner with Brando, Going to Jail & Mom Wrangling Animals

[@b-dub6865]

My mom was in rehab with Brolin in the 90s in Prescott, AZ - after Goonies but before Diane Lane & No Country. She said he didn’t seem to take things seriously at the time, but was funny & friendly. My mom’s been sober for 30yrs & is a professional counselor now, but I still think it’s crazy that they were going thru rehab together!

[@Dublin90210]

I think it's kinda shitty that your mom is telling stories about people she was in rehab with and that you're repeating them on the internet. You're saying your mom was a counsellor... that makes her indiscretion even more shocking.

[@eyeq7730]

@@Dublin90210 It's very likely that she told this story before becoming a councelor

[@b-dub6865]

@@Dublin90210 Brolin wasn’t her patient - she was in AA meetings with him 30yrs ago when she was in recovery. She never talks about her patients. She shared her personal experience with me, her daughter, long before she ever became a counselor. Now, I’m simply retelling that story cause it’s kind of crazy, & they’ve both grown so much since that time. Besides, it’s public knowledge that Brolin struggled with rehab & prison for a while - he was literally just talking about it in this video & even wrote a book about it. So honestly, I’m not sure why you’re so offended.

[@TheDulcifer]

@@b-dub6865 You don't have to explain. Brolin has made it very clear that he was in rehab. He not only discusses it in public, but writes about it. He's never hidden his pecadillos. Your mother did absolutely nothing wrong. . . nothing unprofessional, and good for her for holding on to her sobriety, and turning her life around.

Josh feels the best friend I haven't met.

[@JadusMoltriel]

Wow, it's gotta feel SURREAL to be a guest on a famous show while your former cell-mate from prison is ALSO a guest that night! I served 10 years in maximum security prison (1st deg homicide. Took out my father with a metal bat when I was a 19 year old girl. Saved my mom in the moment, and then snapped after a lifetime of torture and extreme abuse, some of which left scars on my body to this day. All my siblings had been locked up before me, for attempting to take him out, so all that was enough mitigating factors for the judge to give me 10 rather than Life), and I met some of the best people of my life in there. People I genuinely consider family, and dear friends. But the amount of trauma-bonding you go through with people in prison is immense, and just coming home in and of itself is a feeling like no other (been home 15 months after serving the full 10). I can only imagine how eerie it must feel to be a late night guest with your cell-mate, though. Talk about a "woah, look at us now! We actually made it!" type moment... Very cool!

[@stephaniefay3741]

How did I not know how charismatic he is?! ✨

[@Williestyle-RobotechxMacross-x]

Well, Josh has certainly lived a life! He is being a bit modest, RKL does indeed have real influence in the old school punk scene. But he is also underselling how... "tough" some parts of his childhood were. (from a previous interview) "The group of guys that I grew up with, 36 of them are dead. 12 are in jail. 4 are in jail and also dead. I keep careful count, all 36 dead guys. I'm from a tough environment, ya know?" I'm 3 years younger (and also born in Feb), I don't recall even knowing 52 "guys" in all of my youth - but I am fairly certain that the majority of the ones I did know are still around somewheres (at least a few years ago when I last checked). Despite being the son of a showbiz dad (Jan Smithers (formerly) and Barbara Striseand are his step - mothers as well) with the stardom of James Brolin, Josh seems so easy to get along with - like he would be/could be your friend, if he weren't "too cool" for many of us to approach.
