Josh Brolin (2014)

They were married 12 days later.

Yes.

The milkman's his dad.

I have been practicing my whole life.

Used to guzzle it as a kid. Loved nestle Quik, too. But Hershey's is the best. You're fucking awesome. Best question yet.

They didn't show us the - actually, I do! They didn't show us the ship that was being built, which would now be CGI I'm sure, so this was long enough ago that everything was practical (which made things much more fun & fantastical) - so it was on a stage, the stage was a massive pool with a practical 110 foot boat built in it. And they backed us up into the stage, into the water, had the camera set up so that we could have an "organic" reaction, put us underwater, I came up out of the water, turned around, we all came up out of the water, I turned around and said "Holy shit!" which ruined the whole take. And the surprise. So we had to resort to acting in the end.

"Would you ever quit smoking?"

"At which point did you come up with the persona?" There's early John Wayne, and late John Wayne. It always seems that with success,t here's a cultivation of persona, which can make an actor's career, or ruin it.

Ooh, that's so deep.

I LOVE THAT IDEA! RIGHT NOW!

Better than my old buddies' idea of "Brawlin' with Brolin"

I'm becoming enough of a fan now that it's Thanos, okay?

I was incredibly satisfied with the final product as a film. And really look forward to seeing what they'll do in the future.

Yes, first of all. And the guest episode he did for the Batman series.

That's where he met my mom, who was an assistant casting director. He played a cop on Batman.

Glare. Hands down.

Thank you very much. I'm stuck on Robotron and Asteroids and Galaga. But that sounds interesting...

Oliver Stone saw Clinton at a art exhibit in China, where Oliver was selling some of his art. They started talking about W, Clinton (who's very close friends with W) loaned him his DVD, Oliver found out, and when Oliver asked Clinton how W liked it, his response was "Funny, but kind of sad."

My daughter, who is standing right here?

Oh god, my favorite movie with you... is probably...there's two. It's probably No Country and Thrashin' because it makes me laugh all the time, because your hair changes in every scene, I'll never forget that. And then not including him? God, I don't know, there's too many....I don't know... Dude, I have no idea.

What's a movie that we watched a lot as a kid? Like the Godfather or something?

Dog Day Afternoon!

There's always a possibility. Seriously, no teasing. About every 5 years it comes up. I've never read a script. It seems that recently in the last year, there's been more talk of it than usual from the likes of Corey Feldman and Richard Donner. But that's as far as it's gone for me. I don't know how I feel about a sequel, given that I love the original movie so much.

We just wrapped!

My craziest on-set story comes from during the Goonies, when I came up to Spielberg and said that I wanted to climb the walls of the tunnels and that it represented my mother's womb, for some odd reason. I was reading Stanislawski at the time and Spielberg's response was "Why don't you just act."

Erase labels.

We were proud to label ourselves as "teen-agers" and got stuck on those labels as adults, to the demise of many of my friends. I'm just one of the lucky ones.

Yeah. With Russell, I told him before when I was doing "No Country" that I was going to lose weight for the role, so they had the measurements of what I was supposed to be. When I showed up, apparently, I had forgotten to lose the weight, so I put on my wardrobe and went to rehearse my first scene with Russell. I was nervous (obviously) and excited, I asked Ridley if it was ok if we just ran through the scene once, I grabbed a chair and sat next to Russell. Halfway through the scene, and the seat of my pants ripped wide open. I missed the mark in making it a joke to break the ice between Russell and I. Once the scene was over, nobody was very impressed, and I went back to my trailer waiting to be fired. So while I was in my trailer, pantsless, there was a knock at the door, waiting there was Ridley, who said "I love the vulnerability you've brought to the role. Let's go more with that."

More than interesting was going to screenings at Quentin's house, and having him break down the movies for a half-hour or more of what we were about to see. I think he's the only filmmaker out there that is as knowledgeable or more than Scorsese.

My first day at work, half the day was ruined because I giggled so much. My dad didn't often bring me to the set, being an actor himself, so my infancy as an actor was wracked with a lot of giggles and nervousness.

What happened in 2007? Was I given superpowers? That's awesome.

It seems that way, doesn't it? I was fortunate enough to finally do movies that people saw.

I would say most of the people who know me would not parallel me with the roles I've become most known for. I'm an absurdist who embraces the absurd.

Thor and Hulk.

Richie Rich, which I am ashamed to admit. Richie Rich, Hulk, and Thor (I had a thing for blonds?)

And then got into the graphic novels of Frank Miler & all that, which isn't just to promote this film, it's the truth.

I've never had more fun on a movie than I did on the Goonies. I thought that was how it was going to be for the rest of my career. And even though there have been massive fluctuations in the past 30 years, I still hold that as my greatest experience.

Watch the gag reel for MIBIII on YouTube. Very hard to keep a straight face the entire film.

It's been a joke my kids' entire lives.

Should we set it up now?

Nobody gets that title right, ever! Phenomenal. Very distinctive personalities. All amazing actors. Garret Dillahunt and Kelly MacDonald gave phenomenal performances, you would never know she is from Scotland on that film. It was a special time, in that nobody had the idea that the film would be seen by anyone. Again - so deep! And heartfelt!

All my memories are off camera, even when I was on-camera, it felt like I was off camera. A lot of painting with Robert Rodriguez and George Yepes (who is a painter, our teacher when Robert & I worked together - Robert has a studio out back, and we did about 8 paintings during that time).

One body, two heads.

Or maybe one head, two bodies?

I'm not sure which. I love mystery. I still haven't been able to figure them out. When I went out to After No Country for Old Men, I got to know Ethan fairly well, went out to dinner with him at one point, and I caught him looking down a little too often and then realized that he had brought a book to dinner. So the reason I keep working with them is less about the art, and more a personal quest in trying to solve the mystery that is Ethan & Joel Coen.

I did. On the audition, part of the audition process was me having to skateboard outside while they watched me from across the street, second floor window. I hit a pebble, my skateboard went out into the street, and an 18 wheeler ran over it. The only reason I got the part was because the Goonies poster was up at the time. But yes I got the part.

A better question: what did Patricia's armpit taste like...with hair?

Like Roll-On.

What a nice question.

I'm a bit tired. There's a few sand granules in the eyes. But I'm hanging with my daughter today. Life is good. I like that.

Me too!

I don't know when a trailer is coming out, I hope soon. I'm very proud of that movie. And I think Joaquin Phoenix has reached an alien level of talent.

Any television series of all time?

I want to go back and be the Fonz. And never have "to be continued" on the screen. I hated waiting the week.

His haircut? Hilarious. I laughed, I did. It was a Coen idea. And any idea that the Coens ever have is always absurdly hilarious.

It'll be on Jimmy Fallon tonight, possibly.

No, but has a much better looking haircut now.

Thanks. YOU'RE cool.

My hair is the product of my buddy's hair care product that he started after turning his life around. It's called original sprout.

My favorite book? Wow... let's see. My favorite-favorite-favorite-book is probably...A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. And there's a great book I've been reading lately called Awareness by Anthony DeNello.

But 100 Years of Solitude I love too. I go back and read that every 5 years. And Shantaram, by my buddy Gregory David Roberts, whom I was with in India last year riding motorcycles through Mumbai.

I've asked to wear that wardrobe in every movie since. Thank god the sequel's coming out soon.

I wanted to be a lawyer, I was studying to a lawyer, which I realized was the same thing as acting. And there was one point where I wanted to be a chef.
