Trigger Warning: This article contains mention of addiction and violence
Josh Brolin opened up about having a conversation over sobriety with his stepmother and a popular actress, Barbra Streisand.
In conversation with The Times, the Marvel star shared that he was impressed with Streisand’s ability to say her thought to Brolin’s face, irrespective of the reaction.
Speaking on the same lines, the actor recalled asking for a glass of wine when he visited his father and stepmother at their home, and the Funny Girl actress blurted out, “But aren’t you a drunk?”
As the actor sat down to promote his memoir, From Under the Truck, Avengers: Infinity War star shared that the book contains various anecdotes and experiences of his life, which pushed him towards sobriety.
He went on to reveal that his post-rehab journey has been great. Brolin shared, “I love being sober. I have more fun.’ He further added, “There’s nothing that I go through that I am absolutely certain wouldn’t be worse if I was drinking.”
Meanwhile, Brolin’s memoir will put forth the relations between the actor and his kids, stories of addiction, and as the author Harper Collins described, “Grappling with the mysteries of life and death in a way that will catch readers by surprise, From Under the Truck is an audacious and riveting memoir from a born writer.”
