yeah I agree folks with money should never mention it to folks who have to sit in traffic and punch a clock. We don't want to hear it. But they get paid stupid money if the studios think they'll sell movie tickets or streams, its that simple.
@@house9850 I don't hear a lot of complaining from him. Just resentment from you. Do you know why you punch a clock? Because the job is there, unless you screw up or get laid off, no matter what. You get paid less because you get paid every two weeks. Most actors make less than you do. They fill in their income with waitering or whatever else. The people who make the "stupid money" usually get that after struggling for years, and there's, like, 20 of them. Or working from a young age while most kids are out pedaling their bikes. Don't reduce their experience by just skimming the rosy stuff off the top.
The 60 grand story is one of the greatest stories I've ever heard. Brought me to tears because I can only imagine that moment. I love to see non greedy humble people have their way of being, rewarded.
He was the leading man in a fucking Best Picture Oscar winner movie by the Coen bros. You really think hollywood didn't offer him big roles after that?
He is a better than average actor, but has no idea what broke really is. Broke is not just about money, it's also about what options you have and having someone, like wealthy parents, to bail you out.
Sometimes, it helps your image, in the long run, NOT to be associated with Producers, Directors, Actors etc, that have a radically different viewpoint, either politically, theologically, or financially , than you do!...You make the best call you can...sometimes you're right and sometimes your wrong, but you still have to make the best decisions that suit YOUR needs, based on what's best for YOU!....I believe that's what Josh has done throughout his acting career and I believe he's better off for it! I'm happy to see him doing well in the 2nd half of his career!...Always entertaining and fun to watch!...Just sayin'!
300 auditions? You hear of some people who get work after 1 try and stories like this where he hears “no” 299+ times And in both cases it’s black belt actors who are particularly good at it. Pretty interesting
I think he knows what he's doing. turning down avatar knowing full well its not going to make it would kill his career and any 'box office draw' he carries
Private eye was awesome ! a bit dated by today's standards but at the time the story line was great ,,tempo very good Josh Brolin was very good as well, searched out for episodes for years to no avail.
He said a.g. hadnt come out yet and he was broke. And then he got a call from his agent to say he had 600k on the back end? Im confused. Wouldnthat not come based on a movies performance? How is this mystery money popping up pre- release?
Man turns down work that feels off for his soul. Shows Faith. Such a foreign concept to people that they say he wasn't broke then. Knowing your worth is abnormal, isn't it?! I get it.
@@Snarkeroid Yeah there's no way. Which is a good thing. He could've been just a working actor and making good money enough to turn down a few things knowing you'll be fine.
He makes no sense, I get working for the right roles and what you want despite the money but don't go and complain about money when you are turning down big role after big role
Yeah single dudes without dependants and addictions can actually live on a very small amount easily (in the first world). 600k will get you 20 years if you have your abode sorted. 600K will get you 10-15 years if you have to rent. If you arent rat-racing and arent too stupid (a little stupid is ok) it goes a looong way. Just keep your head down and dont sweat how its perceived! Its a joy!
So how does the saying no, tie in to his narcissistic mother and his experience with her? Because, I think there’s a connection that should be explored.
@@wesleypipes5673I'm struggling decades and cant get dayplayer auditions even or a sag card or a manager or an agent and this guy thinks it's funny turning down life changing works . Are u w.pipes the porn star 🌟?
The spoiled self-importance and nonsensical hypocrisy is off the charts here and entering the realm of the absurd. I feel like I am watching "The Sammy Maudlin Show" on SCTV.
Have to call BS on JB, going for the cash grab marvel & dune vapid, mindless paydays but too good for other roles. Behind the pseudo artist, is just another a cash grabbing ego maniac.
If you step back and pay attention for a moment you’ll notice that we got A LOT of nepo-baby-trust-fundies in our sports, politics, and entertainment industries, and they just LOVE telling us about their “struggles.” I just find that a bit amusing. I mean, don’t get me wrong I like Brolin as an actor, he’s talented,, but the dude wasn’t just born with “one foot in the door…” he was born IN THE ROOM. 😂 The other day I saw that pic with Musk, RFK Jr, Trump Jr, and Trump on his plane eating McDonald’s and I thought to myself how each one of those dudes got their money and power from their fathers. Trump inherited his father’s money and business, Elon got his emerald mine from his daddy, and RFK Jr is a Kennedy FFS. You don’t really get more nepo-baby than a Kennedy.
Must be rough traveling around Europe.. rich people crack me up, with their stories about a rough life..

JOSH IS GREAT.... LOVE THIS MAN HE WILL NOT SELL HIS SOUL FOR MONEY....
30k and a ranch sounds like retirement to me lol 😂
Believe me, it's not. I bought my grandparents ranch and it is a LOT of work
@natedogg890 I know, was being hyperbolic. I can't even manage my 1/2 acre property lol
@@catloverextreme It's a tough journey, I just try to chip away at it one thing at a time. It does feel good to put in some honest work tho
The 60 grand story is one of the greatest stories I've ever heard. Brought me to tears because I can only imagine that moment. I love to see non greedy humble people have their way of being, rewarded.
Love this. Great attitude. Blessings to you.
Josh Brolin never struck me as a character actor until I seen American Gangster, he went toe to toe with Denzel and Crowe in that film.
If u r broke, & turn down work, u r not broke
for real
I like Josh but after about 20 interviews I'm seeing a pattern.
Actors takes themselves way too seriously.
if u r broke and own a ranch, u r not broke
@@TheAgentAssassinYeah, listen to his Rogan interview about growing up in Cali. He’s a NEPO baby to a T.
Truth as F
@@swchri1264 you guys must have never been broke. It doesn’t mean you have no property - it means you have no money
Damn, this is a really good interview. I also watched him on Howard Stern. I like this guy.
This dude seems super cool
We all know his movie roles, I don't believe for a second he turned down 2 suitcases full of money. Sometimes actors have a revisionist memory.
He was the leading man in a fucking Best Picture Oscar winner movie by the Coen bros. You really think hollywood didn't offer him big roles after that?
Actors turn down money all the time. Sean Connery with LOTR, Matt Damon with Avatar. Happens everyday. Both were looking at $100M +
what about that Avengers money Josh? 😂
He is a better than average actor, but has no idea what broke really is. Broke is not just about money, it's also about what options you have and having someone, like wealthy parents, to bail you out.
Exactly
TRUTH
G. Bens Killin it with these interviews. Keep em comin!!
I'm never really sure what he's talking about
After this interview. Im more confused than he is
this and then that but also this other that and then there was this
Josh is always like "I'm not going to tell you." Lol 😊
It’s like he can just snap his fingers and get what he wants
I see what you did there 😅
It's called Nepotism
He is inevitable.
@@bradboo At least he is a great fuckin actor
Loved him in the Sicario movies.
Whoa, just cut off the Tim Burton Hunchback of Notre Dame story? I wanna know what happened...
Would've been soo good.
Love this freakin guy 👊🏽
He was even in the remake of the danish thriller/horror movie Nattevagten (Nightwatch).
He gambled on his future and won.

He’s lucky his super talented dad was born before him
I think he knows what he's doing. turning down avatar knowing full well its not going to make it would kill his career and any 'box office draw' he carries
Woah, Brolin was just on Joe Rogan earlier 😂😂
The wisdom of humility, thanks to Josh Brolin.
Amen to that, and most cool.
Private eye was awesome ! a bit dated by today's standards but at the time the story line was great ,,tempo very good Josh Brolin was very good as well, searched out for episodes for years to no avail.
That Notre Dame reboot sounds really good
Solid individual who’s just plain cool
Love this guy
I love hearing that he can live 5 lifetimes on 600 grand. I wish more people thought like this.
Great character.
To this day, I would not touch no money just randomly found because of that movie. Maybe a loose bill or something, but not a bag or suitcase.😂
I'm happy for his success, but STFU about how tough you had it...😂
Awww maaaaaaan, LOL, things are tough all over.
He turned down a massive payday on Avatar? No follow up question on that mistake?
He said a.g. hadnt come out yet and he was broke. And then he got a call from his agent to say he had 600k on the back end? Im confused. Wouldnthat not come based on a movies performance? How is this mystery money popping up pre- release?
Dudes never been broke in his life.
Ikr. Just read between the lines. 😂 who is he trying to fool
Outer Range made absolutely NO sense
Goonies🇫🇮💥💥
Does anyone know what kind of shoes JB is wearing here?
Man turns down work that feels off for his soul. Shows Faith.
Such a foreign concept to people that they say he wasn't broke then.
Knowing your worth is abnormal, isn't it?! I get it.
❤️
I bet the suitcases of money offer was avatar 😂
No that offer went to matt Damon and he said no. Haha
Broke back mountain
@bargainhuntbricks420 but he turned it down I bet he asked a few people and he offered what 10% of grossing so that's suitcases of mula anyway 🙂
@@dakprescottsattorney7906 I think it was later after no country
Great interview!
I enjoy these serious soul searching interviews about money, and then your realize he works for Disney like wtf curb your self importance
He is the most insufferable of these types. He is just a suffering artist. He works for the least money and works harder than everyone.
Maybe I just grew up even broker than these guys so any chance of stability I'll take it.
There's no way he's rejecting roles when he's actually broke
@@Snarkeroid Yeah there's no way. Which is a good thing. He could've been just a working actor and making good money enough to turn down a few things knowing you'll be fine.
Good genes!!
He makes no sense, I get working for the right roles and what you want despite the money but don't go and complain about money when you are turning down big role after big role
Yeah single dudes without dependants and addictions can actually live on a very small amount easily (in the first world). 600k will get you 20 years if you have your abode sorted. 600K will get you 10-15 years if you have to rent. If you arent rat-racing and arent too stupid (a little stupid is ok) it goes a looong way. Just keep your head down and dont sweat how its perceived! Its a joy!
bro if 600k will last u only 10 years u r slow
So how does the saying no, tie in to his narcissistic mother and his experience with her? Because, I think there’s a connection that should be explored.
It just happened because you are James B. son
I don't why this guy thinks he's so cool for being broke. His step mom is Streisand. Take a loan out of her 200 million.
@@goodpainlive his wife at the time was rich af too 😂
He shouldnt do interviews it exposes him as very shallow in what he speaks about but hes thinking its very significant . Who cares about this stuff?
Apparently YOU…because you spent the time. Me…didn’t watch, because I don’t watch movies!
Zero. Fucks. Given.
Few people experience this, at this thing we call life.
interesting how he keeps his fingers over his mouth when he's talking.
Don't forget the nepotism involved in his success
Nepo babies are not broke! 😂😂 what a joke! “Hollyweird”
Silverspoon fed people have no idea what broke is! He's full of it!
Depending on who you surround yourself with you can believe that you are broke.
Says that yet said yes to old boy remake.
He makes about as much sense as that Como Guy from MSLSD or that CNN Thing.
turned down money? what a fool
It's called being true to yourself and your art, something real actors do.
@@wesleypipes5673I'm struggling decades and cant get dayplayer auditions even or a sag card or a manager or an agent and this guy thinks it's funny turning down life changing works . Are u w.pipes the porn star 🌟?
He lost my respect when he cried about Someone turning Trump into one of his characters in a meme.
No, it just shows that has a level of decency.
But you didn't reject Jonah Hex...
My mom died and left me a ranch, but I’m broke. These actors have no idea what broke is
Really. Broke is money for peanut butter and bread or Raman noodles... Not both
His point is that he wasn’t a millionaire. He had 30 grand to his name. That’s definitely more than I have in the bank but I get his point.
@lohi172 no that's not it
Thank God I'm not the only one who picked up on that lol "all I had way my 300 acre ranch' lol gtfo
It’s all relative. A broke homeless person living in the US could be perceived as rich compared to a broke homeless person living in Haiti .
I just can't ever turn all the way from nat. I just can't and I like that. I love you, nat. Please baby....I love you
Did the suitcase of money he turned down have a tracking device in it?
A lot of the poors are getting their panties twisted in the comments. "Figure it out!" - Tom Segura.
Sounds great but you know he's got that Thanos money.😂
I turned down a roll on the way to take a poop
Is this thanos?
Talks like a rich kid
Never brings up beating up Diane Lane and of course he turns down roles he has daddy money
We all have to cut our cloth according to its measure !! 🙄not on your own there bud !!
The spoiled self-importance and nonsensical hypocrisy is off the charts here and entering the realm of the absurd.
I feel like I am watching "The Sammy Maudlin Show" on SCTV.
He looks just like his dad. Good old nepotism.
So Marvel and MIB aren't sellouts?😂
just ask Barbara for some money, what on earth is this guy on.
Why can't they just say what they turned down? Who cares
Broke back mountain
🧐
Suitcases in exchange for woke support, hopefully he's not a Hollywood tool anyway.
Sounds like he made a lot of dumb choices
Have to call BS on JB, going for the cash grab marvel & dune vapid, mindless paydays but too good for other roles. Behind the pseudo artist, is just another a cash grabbing ego maniac.
Josh Brolin is a terrible actor.
He ruins every movie his in.
