“Heartbreaking to see him like this…” 😥😮 From Hollywood star to living on the streets! 🤯📉 Shocking photos of a struggling Brolin have surfaced—what happened to the once-famous family member? 🤔📸 Read more in the article below! 👇
A 52-year-old man searching through dumpsters in California might not instantly seem connected to Hollywood, but a younger version of him appears in numerous photos with celebrities. His family tree? His older brother is Josh Brolin, his father is James Brolin, and his stepmother is Barbra Streisand.
Jess Brolin was born to actor James Brolin and his wife Jane, who was a casting director and an environmental activist. Jess followed four years after his brother Josh. James and Jane had a whirlwind romance—they got married just 12 days after meeting each other and spent nearly two decades together while James enjoyed success as a TV star. Their marriage lasted 18 years before they divorced in 1984.
Tragedy struck the family in 1995 when Jane died in a car accident. At the time, Jess was 23 years old and inherited a considerable amount of money from his mother. This inheritance seemed to support him for several years. In the late 1990s, Jess tried his hand at the film industry, working as an assistant on a few projects. However, his career didn’t take off, and the last film he was involved in was released in 2002.
Recent reports have revealed that Jess currently lives in a motel room, likely arranged through social services. Meanwhile, his father and brother live in luxurious multi-million-dollar homes and own several properties.
Despite this, it seems that Josh Brolin still makes an effort to maintain a relationship with his brother. A photo of the two together was taken after Jess had already experienced homelessness.
Every family has its challenges, and Jess Brolin’s story is no exception. No one has accused him of substance abuse or addiction, so it’s possible that his situation is due to underlying mental or emotional difficulties rather than external issues.
