Moreover, according to the reports of People Magazine, the Goonie actor wrote in his memoir that he was stabbed in his belly button. However, it saved his life as "the umbilical ligament is the densest ligament in the body and it slowed the knife down enough to stop it from hitting any vitals.”
During the incident, his wife Kathryn was waiting outside a hotel and rushed to bring an ambulance to Brolin. The actor even went to call his ex-wife, whom he shares his two kids with.
Describing his conversation with the mother of two, the actor wrote, "She’ll talk to the kids about what I loved most about them, about what they meant to me, and how I know they’ll grow into a future that they can feel proud of and not spiral into shame because of.”
