Josh Brolin Reflects on The Goonies Role

Josh Brolin, reflecting on his iconic role in 'The Goonies,' shared a humorous anecdote about being told by director Steven Spielberg to simplify his approach to acting. At age 16, Brolin had pitched an overly complex interpretation of his character, Brandon, suggesting that the tunnels in the film represented a psychological struggle related to birth. Spielberg's blunt advice was to focus on the script, a lesson Brolin now appreciates. He described the experience as transformative, considering it 'probably the greatest experience of my life,' particularly as it came during a challenging time in his youth. Brolin's memoir, 'From Under the Truck,' is set to be released soon, and he reflects on the numerous auditions he faced before landing the role. Reports of a potential 'Goonies 2' have been dismissed by original cast members, ensuring the legacy of the first film remains intact.
