Josh Brolin has revealed that his work as a day trader helped him prepare for his new movie Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
Josh Brolin joins Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan in Oliver Stone's sequel to the 1987 movie.
Speaking to the Huffington Post the actor said: "I got very, very disciplined and very good at it, and then, right when I didn't need the money anymore, suddenly I started making money in films.
"I didn't work for a huge firm. I don't know about billions of dollars, but I do know about trading. I know what it's like for a stock to go down so fast your finger literally can't catch up to it, and I also know what it is to tackle my own emotional discipline regarding stocks.
"I think I got very good at that, and I think that it definitely facilitated other areas of my life with acting."
Brolin hasn't been seen on the big screen since his Oscar nominated role in Milk last year but is back later this year with Jonah Hex.
He then teams up with Woody Allen for You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger and he has also been linked to Men In Black 3.
