Josh Brolin, 56, shows off muscled torso on the beach… after mystery over Deadpool & Wolverine role

Josh Brolin got soaking wet as he showed off his muscular torso during a day at the beach in Santa Barbara this week.

The 56-year-old man is so enthusiastic about showing off his sexy body that he regularly posts nude photos online.

His pride in his figure was apparently undiminished when he was spotted walking through the shallow water towards the sand on Wednesday.

For his final appearance, the No Country For Old Men actor wore red and black swimming trunks and accessorized with a black armband.

Just two months ago, he finally put an end to speculation about his role in the upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine.

The film reunites two heavyweights of the superhero genre: Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool, and Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine.

Hugh in particular has become beloved by comic book fans as Wolverine for the big screen, ever since he first portrayed the character in the 2000 film X-Men.

Josh, meanwhile, played the villain Cable in Deadpool 2 and was at one point listed on the IMDb page for Deadpool & Wolverine.

However, his fans were left devastated when he revealed that he had not been asked to reprise his role in the upcoming film, which is set to be released this Friday.

“I wanted to be in that movie so badly,” he confessed on The playlist in May, in which he said he is “completely in love” with Hugh and that he is also acquainted with Ryan.

That month, Josh drove his admirers wild with one of his famous nude Instagram photos, in which he posed naked with his bare butt facing the camera.

“I had an amazing time at the #metgala last night,” the Avengers: Endgame star joked in the caption, adding, “So… honored.”

He previously posed nude while promoting his Amazon Prime western series Outer Range on his Instagram page in April 2023.

His wife Kathryn Boyd, who is 20 years younger and used to be his assistant, joked: ‘Oh, I thought they weren’t going to release the poster until later this year!’

Despite Josh’s best efforts to promote the series, Outer Range was officially canceled earlier this month after two seasons.

His upcoming projects include Rian Johnson’s third film Knives Out, which sees him join an impressive group of top talent.

Each film in the series is led by Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc. Each installment features a new murder and a new all-star cast of suspects.

The next photo features Scandal star Kerry Washington, The Crown actor Josh O’Connor, Priscilla star Cailee Spaeny and Fleabag alum Andrew Scott.

Jeremy Renner has also been cast, his first film since his terrifying, near-fatal snowplow accident on New Year’s Day 2023.

Legendary actress Glenn Close will also contribute to the project, which is expected to be released next year.
