80 years of knowledge and one of the most successful careers in Hollywood seem to not be enough to the actor's grandchildren, who, he says, do not listen to him very often.

Anyone knows that people get wiser as they get older, and that is why the 80-year-old actor, James Brolin, expects his older grandchildren to listen to him. Though the Hollywood star might be a great reference to receive advice from, he playfully said in an interview that his grandkids do not listen to him that much.

The “Life in pieces” actor later corrected his joke and explained he thinks that both his grown grandchildren, 32-year-old Trevor, and 26-year-old Eden, somehow pay attention to the things he talks about with them. “I hear them repeating what I said later without realizing it,” said the actor.

Brolin confessed that being a grandfather is one of the things he enjoys the most, and though he lives far from Trevor, who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Eden, who lives in the Woodstock area because of their jobs, he makes sure to call them every now and then to constantly keep in touch.
