      Brolin is today one of Hollywood’s most recognisable stars. He first hit the big screen as a teenager in the cult film *The Goonies*; then, much later, came the Coen brothers’ *No Country for Old Men* and a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for *Milk* in 2009. More recently he has played a dust-encrusted warrior in *Dune*, and Thanos, the destroyer of worlds, in Marvel’s *Avengers* franchise*.*

      It could so easily have turned out differently. In his telling, the path to self-destruction was predestined. “I was born to drink. I was birthed to drink. My mother drank exactly like I did, and I was raised to be a man and drink like the male equivalent of my mother,” he writes in a new memoir.

      He says the book’s title, *From Under the Truck*, is a nod to one of his and his mother’s drinking sessions. One night in his teens, Brolin and his mother, Jane, took part in a drinking competition with her new boyfriend, at the boyfriend’s instigation. “You don’t want to do that,” Jane warned the man, but he insisted. Fifteen or so drinks later, the boyfriend disappeared and the bar owner found him with his legs sticking out from under his truck, passed out. “You don’t f*** with us,” Brolin’s mother muttered under her breath.

      I think the key to being an actor is to drink and smoke at a young age

      “You couldn’t live with your own failure, so where does that bring you? Right back to me.” – The Judge to Brolin

      Brolin also hung out with and even played drums with a early version of the Santa Barbara hardcore punk band Rich Kids On LSD, which is fitting because he actually was a rich kid on LSD.

      He’s redeemed himself. Love his roles and his acting. A dark horse that connected with some amazing directors.

      Sounds like most kids in Los Angeles county growing up. We were exposed to so much so fast.

      This was normal behavior for kids in the Gary,IN area in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

      I was a weed at 12, lsd at 19 and jail at 27 kinda guy and my famous handsome actor career sucks, but goddamn was I close to the algorithm

      I remember Dennis Villeneuve or the Coen Brothers mentioning he’s very much a cowboy as far as Hollywood goes. No nonsense at times, intimidating, and sincere on a whole different level.
