Josh Brolin made quite the appearance on the talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, as he shared some wild and outrageous stories from his new memoir titled “From Under the Truck”. The actor opened up about doing LSD at the young age of 13, his unconventional dinner with Marlon Brando, and even his mom’s knack for wrangling wild animals.
During the interview, Brolin recounted how he used to dance on bars with no pants on, even when sober. He admitted that he had a wild side and saw turning down and mooing at the audience as a form of entertainment. Brolin also expressed that alcohol gave him the freedom to be bold and outlandish, but he assured the audience that he would still pull off mooning with grace and class, even without alcohol.
The actor then delved into his experiences with LSD, revealing that he started experimenting with the psychedelic drug at the age of 13 with a group of friends known as the Sito rats. This eventually led him to join a famous punk band called Rich Kids on LSD (RKL). Brolin admitted that while starting LSD at such a young age may not have been the best decision for his developing brain, he had an incredible trip that included a fireplace talking to him.
Brolin shared an unbelievable story about his mother, who had a strong command over wild exotic animals. He recounted a time when she was called to handle a 550-pound gorilla that refused to get in a truck for transport. Despite the risks involved, his mother fearlessly walked up to the gorilla, told it to stop, and surprisingly, the gorilla obeyed her command. This incident was just one example of his mother’s eccentric and intense personality.
In his memoir, Brolin writes about his encounters with famous individuals, including Marlon Brando. He shared a fascinating story about meeting a woman Brando had been communicating with, unaware that she thought Brando was an Asian boy. The actor humorously claimed that Brando might have been the pioneer of catfishing, as this incident occurred before the internet became widely popular.
Throughout the interview, Brolin displayed his candid and witty personality, making for an entertaining and lively conversation on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
