Douglas shocked at Gekko inspiration
Michael Douglas is surprised people looked up to his ‘Wall Street’ character Gordon Gekko.
The 66-year-old actor – who played the villainous investment banker in the original 1987 movie and its 2010 follow-up ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’ – continues to be “shocked” when he is told people went into economics because of the character, who winds up in prison at the first of the first film.
