HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Josh Brolin is setting the record straight about rumors he's cheating on wife Diane Lane.
"I don't f--k around on my wife," the 42-year-old actor tells Playboy for its October issue. "I mean, check her out, man."
He adds, "My relationship with my wife is fantastic."
The cheating allegations began earlier this year when Brolin was photographed kissing family friend Marley Shelton.
"Marley is my wife's and my great friend," the W star explains. "I'm an extremely affectionate guy... Marley and I were out together, turned around and saw there were cameras. That's it.
"Next time I see that camera guy, I'm going to give some guy a good smack on the lips and then hopefully it will be, 'Josh Brolin is gay' instead of that I'm f--king around on my wife."
Brolin also discussed an incident he had with Lane in 2004 that led to the actor being arrested on a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery.
"I feel rage about that," he reflects. "I feel I've gotten to a point where I can't explain it, defend it or compensate for it. I can't say, 'No, I'm actually a really good guy and that didn't happen.' Everybody knows what happened because it's all out there.
"I talked big, she said 'f--k you,' and called the cops, and somebody had to go to jail. This will be there for the rest of my life. That f--king sucks. It's been so disruptive to our lives... It kills me, man. It kills me."
