Josh Brolin says wolves and mountain lions shared his childhood home

Josh Brolin grew up with wild animals in the house. On Theo Von's podcast he said wolves and mountain lions came and went through his childhood home.

A wolf left his brother with 60 stitches

Brolin told Von that his brother needed 60 stitches in his leg after a wolf attack when the boy was 6. He framed it as part of a chaotic household rather than a one-off scare.

Mom the wildlife activist

He said his mother, a wildlife activist, often seemed more focused on the animals than on her kids. Feelings talk was not "part of the deal" in a home that busy.

He recalled being scared he might get eaten and having nowhere to take that fear. There was no time to sit in a corner and pout, he said. The full conversation is available on Von's "This Past Weekend" episode with Brolin.
