A CLASS ACT –
Jan. 2026 – Josh Brolin struggled with alcohol addiction as he got older. He finally got sober in 2013 after seeing his 99-year-old grandmother on her deathbed, the actor said. He paid his dying grandmother a visit after waking up hungover on the streets, and it made him realize that he had many more years to live.
In an interview with The Times published on Saturday, Brolin spoke about how his perspective on life has changed as he’s gotten older. “I like getting older. It’s like a great excuse to finally go, ‘OK, just mellow out, you don’t need to constantly spin,'” Brolin told The Times.
The “Marvel” actor said that he had a tumultuous childhood and started dabbling with substance abuse at a young age, trying marijuana when he was 9 and taking LSD when he was 13.
