(CNN)Josh Brolin says visiting his father, James Brolin, and his stepmother Barbra Streisand during the pandemic lock down was "irresponsible."

The "Avengers: Endgame" star posted a video over the weekend on his verified Instagram addressing having broken social distancing rules in California with the visit.

He faced backlash after a now deleted post showing him, his wife Kathryn and their toddler daughter, Westlyn, poolside in Malibu with the elder Brolin and Streisand.

The younger Brolin posted an apology video with a caption that read "Thanks for the reset. #respectsocialdistancing."

You have to wonder what was the attraction there.

James Brolin is no longer young but he could have had his pick of any number of attractive, age-appropriate women. Instead, he picks one of the biggest harpies on the planet.

No accounting for taste, I guess.

Are you talking about the property? I think that skinny little pool is an “endless wave” pool. REALLY pricey. It doesn’t need to be very big;it has a system that keeps the water moving towards you, so you could swim all day, and never move any closer to the end of the pool.

Maybe..
I don’t see anything that would suggest that though.
It looks like a regular pool to me with a hot tub/jacuzzi whatever on the end.
not complaining about the rich being semi-frugal and all..

In the 1980s NYC Hotelier Leona Helmsley (aka The Queen of Mean) achieved fame with a single quote, “We don’t pay taxes; only the little people pay taxes,”! Later she met the IRS and learned that they like bringing down such publicity hounds, as she served a greatly reduced (age & health) prison sentence 19 months for fraud, tax evasion and other charges.

This is a but a single example of the famous F Scott Fitzgerald aphorism; “The rich are different from you or me ...” The Hollywood glitterati are the same, they can be shown doing things that would land the common folk in trouble BUT they are the privileged, all they have to do is say they are sorry!

Yes, they are sorry!

I always wondered that.
He literally had the pick of the planet and he settled long term with THAT.
Life is still a big mystery...

How is this anybody’s business? If Barbs and hubby are cool with the risk, then why do they have to clear it with America’s “Karens”? “Thanos” should have told them to f-off.

Even people in their thirties can develop dementia. Developing an attraction for harpies illustrates just how sinister this affliction can be.

My point is twofold.

One, we are being chastised for asking to open up our businesses and workplaces as they lecture us about flattening the curve and how we need to leave gramma and grampa alone. So us normals Use Zoom etc....while these better that thee types hang out in person - and you know the masks came off when the camera was put down.

Second, why in the wide world of sports do they feel the compulsion to put this private family moment online?

What’s the outrage for?
After all, the only people “endangered” were James Brolin and Barbra Streisand.
