During his CBS interview, Brolin shared that they spent three to five hours on the phone when he was filming in the Philippines. Cell phones were not that popular then, so they used a payphone, which cost $5 a minute. Brolin even joked that he probably spent his entire salary to speak to his wife.
When asked what they had spoken about for so long, the actor said, “teenage crap.” His connection with Streisand truly felt like a teenage fantasy, and with each phone call, he could imagine her getting lost in their conversation and doing all sorts of random things.
