Josh Brolin Recalls Growing Up Among Lions, Tigers and Bears with His ‘Animal-Obsessed’ Mother; ‘She Was Nuts’

Marvel’s popular villain, Josh Brolin, has opened up on his animal-surrounded childhood. While remembering his mother, the actor revealed that because his mother has been a big-time animal lover, he had been around the wildlife quite a lot. During his appearance on Sirius XM’s Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast, the Avengers: Infinity War actor reaccounted the details of his childhood and his mother, who Brolin claims has no filter whatsoever. 

While conversing with Ted Denson and Woody Harrelson, the Dune actor confessed that his mother once almost gave a man to a lion. The recalled, “My mother had zero filters, so as crazy as she was—and she was absolutely f—ing nuts—she gave something to me that allows me to open the pores of whatever filters exist, and I’m really grateful to her for that.” 

He further added, “She was a way station for animals that had been illegally taken out of the wild [by people who try] to domesticate them.” Brolin further revealed that his mother would use to find the people who abused the animals, get them jailed, and then nurse the wounded wildlife while giving them shelter in her organization. 

Meanwhile, the actor also revealed that his mother hired a man named Bud, who would take care of the wildlife and feed the animals when they were weak.

Brolin shared a funny incident with Bud when he was terrified of going near the animals. The Outer Range actor revealed, “Bud goes, ‘You want me to get in the thing and sit down?’ I mean, he didn’t know any better, poor guy, so he goes in there.”

The actor further said,  “And she (the mother) goes, ‘Well, sit next to him.’ And the [lion]’s just sitting there and she goes, ‘Now put the bowl up to your face and then lower your head like you’re eating.’ And then he gets up and the lion—you know how they look up like a dog and they just go one eye, the other eye—moves forward and she goes, ‘Oh good, he’s moving.'” 

Brolin concluded by defining his childhood as quite unconventional. The actor also claimed that he is grateful for his life lessons, which helped him step into the industry and reach the successful stage that he is at.

‘Would you ask Shah Rukh Khan’s wife same thing?’ questions Govinda’s wife Sunita on being asked about entering Bigg Boss: ‘You think I clean toilets?’

Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja is known for not mincing her words and speaking her mind, unfiltered. The audience recently got a peek into her real and raw self when she was on a podcast. While indulging in the candid chat, she was asked if she would ever be part of the reality TV show, Bigg Boss. Responding to it, she stated that she isn’t the one who would clean toilets. Moreover, no one would ask Shah Rukh Khan’s wife Gauri Khan such questions.

During an interview with Time Out with Ankit, Govinda’s better half Sunita Ahuja stated that the team of Big Boss has been inviting for the show and the OTT version of it, for the past four years. But she told them, ‘Are you mad? You think I clean toilets?’ The celebrity also quizzed the host that he asked her this question, but “Would you ask Shah Rukh Khan’s wife the same thing? Do you think we’re struggling financially? I don’t even watch Bigg Boss,” Sunita quipped.

However, she did express her desire to be part of Karan Johar’s chat show, Koffee With Karan. Opining about it, Ahuja stated that she is waiting for an invite from the makers. When enquired if she’s mad on the filmmaker for not inviting her to the popular show till now, she responded “Why would I be irritated?” adding that it’s KJo’s show and he can invite whoever he feels like. However, if she ever goes on KWK, she’ll bring ratings to it. Moreover, they will have a ball since both Karan and her are Gemini.

During the same interview, Sunita shared that she isn’t the only one approached for Big Boss; her daughter, Tina, has also received an offer. However, she made it clear to the show’s producers that they can only approach her if they want her to co-host with Salman Khan. Sunita and Govind also have a son, Yashvardhan Ahuja, who is set to make his acting debut shortly.
