The actor who is fighting cancer recently played the iconic character of Gordon Gecko in a sequel of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. Michael Douglas revealed that the prospect of doing a second movie was "nerve wracking" because the character wasn't the same.
"When director Oliver Stone offered me the part in the first film I don't think I was necessarily the first choice," Michael said. "Maybe the third. It was a crucial time in my acting career, 23 years ago, and played a very important part. Also the part was very colorful. The decision to strip Gecko of all his accoutrements and the armor, all the stuff that made him so colorful, was little nerve-wracking."
"I think we were all a little insecure whether that was actually going to fly or not, whether we could take away everything from him. Hopefully I've improved in 20 years — just like an old car."by fw editor |
