The actor told USA Today that he was insulted at being offered the part in the biopic and considered turning it down due to his political convictions - until he read the script.
"When [Stone] came to me about Bush, I couldn't understand it. I couldn't make any connection whatsoever. I was a little insulted," he said.
"I read [the script] one morning, and I thought it was amazing. I didn't love the story, but as a character, following a guy from 21 to 58 was an incredible challenge for an actor that I didn't think I could pull off."
Brolin, who recently finalised a deal to play D.C. Comics character Jonah Hex, can be seen in W in cinemas from November 7.
