Actor Josh Brolin arrested for bar fight



Josh Brolin was arrested Saturday during a bar fight after a call was made regarding a rowdy patron, Shreveport police Sgt. Willie Lewis told the Associated Press.

According to a police report, officers were called to the Stray Cat bar in the 200 block of Travis Street just after 2 a.m. to deal with a rowdy patron.

As more officers arrived, several other patrons at the bar, including Brolin and fellow actor Jeffrey Wright, 42, tried to impede the officers, the paper said.

Brolin and Wright were arrested along with five others in connection to the bar fight.

The actors—who are reportedly in town shooting Oliver Stone’s President George W. Bush film, W—were arrested at the Stray Cat bar after a call was made regarding a rowdy patron, Shreveport police Sgt. Willie Lewis told the Associated Press.

Brolin was booked and posted $334 cash bond, according to The Times of Shreveport.

Brolin has been married to Diane Lane since 2004.

On December 20, 2004, Lane called the police after an altercation with Brolin and he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery.

George W. Bush biopic


Director Oliver Stone has reportedly started production on a biopic about President George W. Bush. The film, 'W,' will star Josh Brolin of 'No Country for Old Men' as Bush, The Decider.

Laura Bush is played by Elizabeth Banks, Rob Corddry is Ari Fleisher, and Paul Giamatti and Thandie Newton are reportedly in talks to portray Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice, respectively.

Entertainment Weekly visited the Louisiana set and took a glimpse at the script, revealing scenes about Bush's youth and presidency. The film is, of course, from Stone's one-sided perspective.

"Bush may turn out to be the worst president in history," Stone told EW. "But that doesn't mean he isn't a great story... The fact that he had to overcome the shadow of his father and the weight of his family name - you have to admire his tenacity."

Stone is a button-pushing director whose films include 'JFK' and 'Nixon.'
