Josh Brolin checks into rehab centre

Actor Josh Brolin has reportedly checked into a rehabilitation centre for substance abuse treatment.

Known for his roles in movies like "No Country for Old Men", "W." and "Milk", the 47-year-old decided to enter the treatment facility in Northern California to seek help, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"He realised he needed help and is committed to his sobriety," UsMagazine.com quoted a source as saying.

Brolin was in the news after getting involved in a drunken fistfight at a pub earlier this month.
