Like fine sourdough.
James Brolin, father of Josh, star of The Amityville Horror, longtime husband of Barbara Streisand would seem, from the outside, to have it all. Rugged good looks, financial security, Josh, Amityville, Babs but something just wasn’t right. The 82-year-old was feeling his age, unhappy, cranky. As fate would have it, one night, he was dragged to a dinner party where the world’s greatest surfer Laird Hamilton and his wife Gabby Reese also happened to be.
Hamilton took one look at Brolin and, according to the actor, said, “Why don’t you come on up to the pool and work out with us on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday?”
Well, rolled over the creepy offer until one day deciding to give in to love and go hop in Hamilton’s pool.
“His deal is, ‘Oh, do you want to breathe?'” he told People Magazine. ‘”You have to get to the top.’ I said, ‘But I got the weights. I can’t.’ He said, ‘Yeah, no, you have to take the weights with you.'”
“Once you get used to 10 lbs., then we move you to 15 lbs. Then we move you to 20 lbs. and it’s a jumping exercise to start. Then next, they’ve got you swimming the length of the pool with a weight.”
“I started to change. Everything started to change. I just started to look better. Body, face, eyes, thinking and therefore proving the old, boring thing that exercise really works.”
Sexy.
Brolin later tells the magazine that he eats a whole loaf of sourdough bread, from time to time, when Streisand tells him he deserves a little treat.
That bit turned my stomach for some reason. Oh, it’s not that I dislike sourdough, just, I don’t know, a whole loaf seems excessive.
That’s nice of Laird. I will assume this offer is of course extended to us all. I’d show up too, but am a bit far away. Perhaps some other readers who live closer might wish to go along?
More information about how he eats his whole sourdough loaf would be nice thanks Chas.
I’d like to imagine he slices the whole loaf in half horizontally and builds a massive single sandwich.
And maybe Babs whips out a tape measure to check it’s up to regulation size… https://uploads.disquscdn.c…

at my shoreline casa, I once invited Ernest Borgnine, also 82 years young, to take a surf…at midnight…
Laird, at that time, was just a skim-boarder…
