Childhood Memories
His mother Jane, was a wildlife conservationist. And when Josh Brolin and his brother Jess were young, his mother Jane, had a dangerous trick she would play on them. She would tell the wild animals like cougars, coyotes, bobcats, and any other nearby to go ‘Sic ’em’ after which the animals would run after the boys.
Brolin wrote, “You knew if you didn’t get on the other side of that shut door within a couple of seconds, you’d be cleaning up fresh bloody marks somewhere on your body for the rest of the day.”
Even though these stories sound terrifying, Brolin says to this day “loath to say” that they were horrifying. He said in the interview that while his mother indeed was hard to be around, she was still someone he always wanted around.
