Hollywood legend, 84, says he was tapped to play James Bond in Octopussy before Roger Moore stepped back in


The Hollywood icon, who will turn 85 on July 18, reminisced about the time he was offered the role of James Bond in 1983's Octopussy.

Brolin, who turns 85 on July 18, reminisced about the time he was offered the role of James Bond in 1983's Octopussy. Brolin has been married to Barbra Streisand, 83, since 1998 and the singer took to Instagram earlier this month to share a rare post wishing her 84-year-old a happy 27th wedding anniversary. One interesting tidbit bout the couple is they remained celibate before tying the knot, and he asked her to marry him three times before she said yes.
