Josh Brolin has confessed that facing rejection has helped him become a better actor.
The 46-year-old actor said that he had faced several "no's" when he started his career, with people suggesting him to get into some different business,' the New York Post reported.
He added that Meryl Poster, who worked for Miramax, had even publicly said "The worst auditioners that we ever saw at our studio' - which was like 12 years at that point - 'were Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin."
Brolin advised that people should keep going despite facing rejection, and joked that they could always turn to McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken if it didn't work out.
