Josh Brolin recalls the time dad James Brolin made the family eat his pet pig when he was a child

Josh Brolin recalls an intense experience from his childhood when his father, James Brolin, cooked and served his pet pig for dinner: 'This is a horrible story.'

When the younger Brolin, 56, learned that James, 84, told Graham Bensinger a humorous version of a dark story from his childhood, Josh decided to tell it his own way. While the trail James blazed was confined largely to the small screen, Josh's first acting gig, in Richard Donner's 1985 classic The Goonies, proved a harbinger of things to come. The elder Brolin, who has been married to Barbra Streisand ​since 1998 and appeared in The Amityville Horror, Traffic, and Catch Me If You Can, has re-evaluated on his own domestic performance and reached about the same conclusion.
