Josh Brolin on Fame, Addiction, and Philip Seymour Hoffman

JRE #2232 w/Josh Brolin

Two guys talking about being grounded and relatable, then two minutes later saying that making $50, 000 a week isn't worth the trouble of acting outside of your artistic identity. Meanwhile, I'm working an office job wondering if i'll get a $200 Christmas bonus this year. 🤪

I'm lounging out on my couch, in front of my computer, eating spaghetti as Joe says people sitting in front of the computer eating spaghettios are miserable and are going to do drugs. I've been sober 14 years and enjoy my life quite well thank you, lol. I worked hard today, I earned this!

I went to college with Phillip S H and he was the nicest guy. So talented. So sweet. How sad I was when he passed.

50k this week would definitely bring a smile to my face

I saw Phillip Seymour Hoffman alone in a Hooters one time. I walked up to him and said "I loved you in Boogie Nights". He laughed and shook my hand. 😂 Super nice guy.

My friends and I suffered from the same problem Phillip died of……I’m 3 years clean from heroin, fentanyl and cocaine…praying for all my brothers and sisters that have beaten and lost the fight!

It's one of life's cruel ironies that it's only rich people get to opine on the irrelevance of money.

Hoffman as Truman Capote, one of the all-time great performances.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman was the most talented actor of my life so far. Anyone who hasn't seen Synechodche, New York should give it a watch. Its not for everyone, but in my opinion its one of the most beautiful movies of the 21st century

It's called work, dude. You do what you have to do. You do what you can with your life outside of work. Very few people have the luxury of doing something they love for a living.

Addiction is EASILY the biggest struggle I had in life! It lasted over a decade and THAT GOD for Ibogaine! It saved my life! I did a treatment and never looked back! 🙏🙏🙏

Still love The Goonies! It was playing at my hometown movie theater 5 blocks from home in the summer of 85'. One afternoon as I walked home from the pizza place across the street from the theater I found a $10 bill on the sidewalk. I got to my house so excited & asked my mom (I was 2 months from turning 10yrs old) if I could use the money I just found & go watch The Goonies. She said yes & back I walked to the theater. About halfway through the movie there was a blackout caused by a passing thunderstorm & they gave us a ticket to come back another day. I went back the next day & watched it again, this time the whole movie. It was awesome. Back then as a 9-10 yr old kid in the mid 80's, our parents let us out to play without fear of anything bad happening & it really was a GREAT time to be a kid! At least in my neighborhood, we were always outside playing sports in the street during the day & at night we'd play kick the can or manhunt. There seemed to be a group of "Goonies" in every neighborhood! Great memories.

Josh brolins voice is absolutely insane

Hoffman's The Master was an unbelievable performance. Total commitment.

My Dad and I met Josh on set of a tv Pilot Antoine Fuqua was directing, but not on set. We all went to a big hall for lunch and even though he was the star he came to eat with everyone. He saw my dad and I hanging out as we were just visiting the writer and showrunner, and he thought it was super cool we were hanging out and laughing. So he asked us if he could have lunch with us. This was maybe 20 years ago. He was super cool and so down to earth and humble. He ate and talked with us the entire time, even encouraged me to act if it was my dream 😂 one of the coolest actors ever.

RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman. Gone too soon. Such a great actor

[phexus]

It really makes me sad thinking about the roles we missed out seeing Philip Seymour Hoffman play. Dude was incredible.

I met Josh in the 90’s, in the desert :) Great guy! He’s battled his own demons like the rest of us… Always appreciate seeing him doing so well… :)

Josh Brolin’s dad was a movie star. He’s always had money.
