Hollywood Star Josh Brolin Says He Made More Money Trading Stocks Than Acting Due to Discipline And 1 Stock That Went 'to the Roof'

Hollywood actors are often seen as financially set for life, with little reason to seek extra income elsewhere. But acclaimed American actor Josh Brolin revealed in an interview that he turned to stock trading to make ends meet during a difficult stretch in his Hollywood career. Speaking with podcaster and journalist Guy Raz a few months ago, Brolin said he began stock investing to support his family during a time when his acting career had n't taken off and he wasn't "cutting it." "I had children going to school and I just wasn’t making money, man," Brolin said. ‘I Just Wasn't Making Money' Advertisement: High Yield Savings Offers From Day Trading to Long-Term Investing ‘I Knew I Could Figure Financials Out' Recommended Stories ‘We just keep expanding’: California businessman says tariffs have exploded demand for his warehouse business Shaq's Dad Once Showed Him A Homeless Family And Said: I'm Tired Of You Spoiled, Rich Athletes Who Don't Perform And Blame It On Pressure Grant Cardone Says If You Want To 'Get Out' Of The Middle Class, You Need To Quit Saving Money, Buying Homes, Or Borrowing For College Barbara Corcoran’s Top 3 Money Mistakes & What She Learned From Them Best stocks to invest in for beginners What is a CD loan and how can I apply for one?

Later, Brolin's role in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" gave him access to market experts and billionaires, with whom he discussed finance, discipline, and other key aspects of investing, he said. "I made more money than I had ever made acting for sure," Brolin told Raz. "It wasn’t just because I got lucky with one stock that went to the roof, I was very disciplined in the breaths of upward momentum, you know, fairly solid stocks. So I’d get it when it would go down, I’d sell it when it would go up." "If you do that, you have to be up at 4:30 every morning and you have to know your basket and you have done your due diligence for what you’re trading for that day and the night before," according to Brolin. But he was also confident from the beginning that he’d always be able to handle his finances and provide for his family. "I knew that I could figure financials out, I knew that I could support myself, not just through acting. I didn’t do TV for 20 years, so again, for somebody who needs to provide for their family, there was still some version of integrity," he said. UNLOCKED: 5 NEW TRADES EVERY WEEK.
