Everything We Know about Trevor Brolin, Josh Brolin's Eldest Son

Trevor Brolin, the eldest child and only son of Josh Brolin, followed his father into the entertainment industry, though in somewhat differing aspects. He was born into a family brimming not only with talent but also with love. While he remains in entertainment, Trevor has also branched into a completely different field.

With actors for grandparents and parents, Trevor Brolin has dipped his feet into the art form. He also worked behind the scenes, with a few credits already under his name, and has even collaborated on a production with his younger sister. With an active social media presence, Trevor is also an art enthusiast, as his social pages indicate.

But apart from a seemingly illustrious artistic career, the 30-something-year-old has a loving bond with his family. Though he rarely shares photos of himself, he often appears in heartwarming tributes on his parents' timelines, alongside now-decades-old clips and pictures of him and his sister as children.

Trevor Brolin Is from a Family of Actors

Trevor drew his first breath on June 26, 1988, born to Josh Brolin and his first wife, Alice Adair. His mother is a former actress who broke into the industry at an early age. She's best known for her appearances in 1987's "Beverly Hills Cop II," alongside Eddie Murphy, the 1990s sci-fi series "Quantum Leap," and the 1992 period drama "Szuler."

His dad began his journey to being a Hollywood heavyweight in high school. He's globally renowned for his role in the 2007 action film "No Country for Old Men" opposite Javier Bardem, and most recently as Thanos in the "Avengers" film franchise.

Trevor's parents married the same year he was born and welcomed their second child, his sister Eden Brolin, in 1994. She's also an actress and singer known for starring in the TV series "Beyond" and "Yellowstone," and the 2008 film "X." In 1996, Josh and Alice divorced but continued living together to raise their kids.

The two maintained a healthy relationship, and it remains so today. While Josh continued elevating his acting career, Alice abandoned Hollywood. She now works as an End of Life doula — a profession she found "deeply rewarding" — and life coach based in Beverly Hills.

Trevor Brolin Has Tried His Hands at a Lot of Jobs

Trevor began in film, working in the music department for the film short "X" in 2008. In 2011, he went all in for his short "Felt," as he wrote, directed, produced, and acted in the six-minute drama. He's also credited for the cinematography in "Felt." That same year, he appeared as a Mall Shopper in "All Kids Count."

Now living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Trevor branched into a different field, working as an electrician. He's also working for an events company called Revel ABQ, though it's unclear what his position might be. Though it seems he may have taken a break from film, Trevor continues his artistic pursuits, regularly sharing his artwork on his Instagram page.

From those tributes, it becomes clear that Trevor shares a tight bond with his dad, who is also close with his daughters. The father of four regularly gushes about his kids online. In 2018, Josh posted a throwback video of himself playing with baby Eden in a "one lady band." Young Trevor could be heard murmuring in the background before exclaiming:

"Eden! Look what I came up with!"

When Trevor turned 28 in 2016, Josh penned a sweet message reflecting on how much his son had grown. He did the same in 2020, writing a lengthy and nostalgic anecdote, marveling at Trevor's ability to "see the diamonds in everything." In 2021, Josh broke the internet with a rare selfie of himself, Trevor, and Eden, telling his followers that the two siblings taught him what "diamond asset humility is."
