James Brolin may be cut out for ranch life, but that doesn’t mean his wife, Barbra Streisand, would fare well on one.
The Ransom Canyon actor, 84, opened up about the subject while chatting with Parade in an exclusive interview.
“[It’s] too dusty. She’s a Brooklyn girl, you know?” he says.

However, he jokes, “If I had got bagel crumbs all over, that wouldn’t matter.”
Brolin goes on to tell Parade all about working on the Netflix Western, which premiered on the streaming service in April. The show also stars Josh Duhamel, Minka Kelly, Eoin Macken, Lizzy Greene and more, and Brolin couldn’t help but gush about working with Duhamel, 52, for the first time.
“He’s a really great, easy-going guy, and when I was around him, I said to myself, ‘You know, he’s done a lot of stuff, he’s been around.’ But this is his time. He just was mellow,” he says. “His eyes were so blue, and the gray really looked good on him. But his attitude was just so easygoing and firm at the same time. He wasn’t going to take any crap from anybody, you know? I like that.”
The first season of Ransom Canyon can be streamed on Netflix.

Last month, Duhamel exclusively talked with Parade for a cover story about his work on the show.
“It is very much about family,” he said of Ransom Canyon, in which he plays troubled ranch owner Staten Kirkland, who lost both his wife and son.
“He’s been in a pretty dark place,” Duhamel said of his character. “The relationships that he has have sort of fallen off. He’s forgotten how much a lot of these people really meant to him, and how much they’ve actually done for him to get through all this. It’s this guy who’s really kind of shut off to the world, coming back to the world of living.”
He added of the show: “At the end of the day, it’s about the universal language of love and human connection and all of the stuff that goes with that. The loss, the love, the heartbreak, the jealousy, all these things that come up.”
