Josh Brolin Checks into Rehab To Tackle Alcohol Issues

"Labor Day" - Mayfair Gala European Premiere - Red Carpet Arrivals: 57th BFI London Film Festival

So did you see the footage? The footage of Josh Brolin rear ending a cabby, and then getting into an altercation with him? Then, later on, getting into an altercation at a bar? Well, we did, and it was upsetting. We grew up watching Josh Brolin in Goonies, and are even more excited that we are just days away from his debut in Spike Lee’s remake of the South Korean action film, Oldboy. Well, good news and bad news for fans of Brolin. The bad news is he definitely hit rock bottom. The good news? He is using it as a catalyst for change.

As TMZ reported, Josh Brolin has sworn off alcohol. While anyone can say they do that, seems he is backing it up by checking himself into a rehab facility just days before his new movie premiere. Honestly, if you saw the videos, you’d understand. They were really bad. But if it took those videos to act as the force that got Josh Brolin to be brave enough to know to change his life, than maybe in some ways, those embarrassing videos are the most important things he had made in a long time. If they forced a positive change in his life, nothing bad came from them. Only good.

So a big shoutout to Josh Brolin. It is never easy to admit you have a problem, especially in the public eye. On top of that, it seems even harder to recognize and change for most stars. In that sense, Josh Brolin is handling this all right. We wish him the best of luck, and a speedy recovery.
