Josh Brolin, a famous actor and the son of legendary star James Brolin, has opened up about the hardships he faced after the sudden death of his mother.

The 56-year-old artist launched his memoir titled From under the truck, in which he describes his struggle with alcoholism and how the ladies in his life brought him to life.

Josh opened up about the challenges he faced after his mother, Jane, died in a car accident in 1995 and how his stepmother Barbra Streisand’s “old fashioned” style of mothering helped him work on sobriety, scribbling, ” The reality is (Jane and Streisand) would have hated each other.”

“I’m convinced of that. Tough people almost always hate other tough people, unless someone has let their guard down. But I’ve always loved tough women,” said the actor. Deadpool 2 added.

For those unfamiliar, Streisand and Josh’s father, James, got married in 1998 when Josh was 30.

In the book, Josh reminisces about a time when Streisand gently called him while he was deep in his alcoholism.

“One day I walked into their house: ‘I’d like to have a glass of wine,’ I said. She looked at me and tilted her head, so I repeated myself. ‘I’d like a glass of red wine.’ ‘ She took a slow breath and then hit me, ‘Aren’t you an alcoholic?’” he said.

Josh expanded on this by saying, “It was a pretty stupid thing to say. I’d known her for a while; she was my dad’s wife now, and he was really in love with her, and as far as I could conclude ‘You should don’t not drink?’ Man, there he is again.”

“She always had the habit of washing her tongue with bulls**** cleanser before speaking to me. My own mother was like that, so it didn’t paralyze me, but my own mother was dead, so this had to do it,” he noted.

Josh wrote that his mother was dead and that “no one would replace my own mother, no matter how toxic my own mother might have been.”

He also recalled that one day “(Barbra) signed a card for me,” in which she wrote, “Love, Mom,” and he responded, “You’re not my mom.” You’re my stepmother.’

“Who wants to be a stepmother? Nobody. It implies bad intentions: drastic compensation for cosmetic insecurities, misery loves company, me me me syndrome. That wasn’t her. She wanted a family. She was kind,” Josh concluded . by writing.

In the future, Josh recalled his last night of drinking when he “woke up on the sidewalk” near a Del Taco, and his 99-year-old grandmother, who was on her deathbed, pushed him toward recovery in 2013.

It is pertinent to mention that despite having been through everything, Josh has shown his talent in the field of film, including Dune, Avengers: Endgame, X-Force, Weapons, And Light year.
