Hollywood heir struggles in motel while family enjoys luxury

Jess Brolin, a member of a prominent Hollywood family, has been living in a cramped motel room for several months, weighing over 350 pounds. His current residence, the Topa Vista Hotel, is a significant improvement from his previous living situation in a 1981 Toyota truck after his trust fund was depleted in 2011. Despite offers of support from his family, including stepmother Barbra Streisand and father James Brolin, Jess has not accepted their help and remains in temporary housing. His brother, Josh Brolin, enjoys a luxurious lifestyle, residing in a $7.1 million farmhouse in Montecito, California, while also owning a rental property in Atlanta. The stark contrast between their living conditions highlights the struggles Jess faces, despite having been raised in a wealthy environment. Jess's career in the entertainment industry has been limited, with only two films to his name and a brief stint as a production runner in 2001. He has not pursued a showbiz career since then, which may contribute to his current situation. The Brolin family has expressed their love and concern for Jess, reiterating their willingness to help him. However, Jess's ongoing struggles with weight and housing indicate a deeper issue that he has yet to address, leaving him in a precarious position while his family thrives in luxury.
