Josh Brolin's role as President George W. Bush in a forthcoming biopic has reportedly angered his staunchly anti-Bush stepmother Barbra Streisand. Streisand, who is married to Josh's actor dad James Brolin, is an active Democrat campaigner and is furious her family will be linked to Bush by the movie, reports the National Enquirer.

A source tells the tabloid Streisand begged her stepson not to take the role: "Barbra thinks this movie will show a side to George W. Bush that draws sympathy from the public and she does not think Bush deserves anything positive. She is very passionate about politics. She's mortified that America would think anyone in her family was right wing. (But) Josh is not backing down. The chance to work with (director) Oliver Stone is a tremendous break for Josh."
