Recreating the 1980s magic
American actor Josh Brolin had recently attended his friend and American author Bill Parris’ birthday party. The theme of the party was based on the 1980s.
Josh Brolin decided to channel his ‘The Goonies’ character, Brand, for it. In an Instagram message posted on 12th June 2017, Josh Brolin wrote:
“I didn’t know what to dress as (Henry Rollins? Boy George? A gremlin?) then my wife said, “I got you covered. #embraceyourpast #gooniesneversaydie #80s @kathrynbrolin #beautyandthebeast #chologoonie.”
He had uploaded the couple’s photo. In this picture, he is seen with his model wife Kathyrn Boyd wearing a gray tank top and red headband, much like his character in the 1985 classic.
Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus wrote the 1985 action/romance film, “The Goonies”. The story revolves around a group of misfits who discover by accident a pirate’s ancient treasure.
His co-stars included Sean Astin (as Mikey), Jeff Cohen (as Chunk), Corey Feldman (as Mouth), Martha Plimpton (as Stef), Jonathan Ke Quan (as Data), and Kerri Green (as Andy).
Jolin Brolin is very much in love with this character. In August 2014, Josh Brolin told Jimmy Fallon in an interview that he would sign on for a sequel to this film if any. He told:
“What an amazing thing. You do a movie like that, and you don’t know how it’s gonna turn out. And then it turns into a cult film. And then you’re sick of hearing it after 20 years because you haven’t done a film that’s any good, that’s actually matched The Goonies. You’re walking down the street, and 20 years later, they’re going, ‘Goonies, dude!’ And you go, ‘Thanks!’ And they go, ‘Are you still acting?'”
