«Breaking News» The iconic Gordon Gekko haircut made popular by the 1987 movie Wall Street is back in style

The slicked back hairstyle made famous by Michael Douglas's ruthless businessman 'Gordon Gekko' is making a comeback. 

The infamous haircut was sported by actor Michael Douglas in the 1987 film Wall Street where he played finance boss Gordon Gekko, leading hundreds of men in the business world to mimic his sleek look.

And now the center-parted, pomade-polished hairdo is gaining popular yet again.

The Gordon Gekko haircut sported by actor Michael Douglas in the 1987 flick Wall Street is coming back in style and not just for bankers, but for celebrities, athletes and social media influencers too

The sleek look has been seen on not just bankers, but social media influencers and celebrities trying to exude success and wealth including Scott Disick, actor Scott Caan, actor Andy Garcia, and the Trump brothers.

The looks also been rocked by David Beckham, Chris Pine, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and soccer players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, and Toby Alderweireld. 

According to Ellen Mirojnick, the costume designer of Wall Street, the imitators come nothing close to the real Gekko. 

'Wall Street guys did not look like Gekko. The haircut was actually inspired by Pat Riley, the winning coach of the L.A. Lakers at the time. He exuded power and elegance,' she said to Mel Megazine. 

'I don’t remember Michael Douglas having a difficult time maintaining the style during shooting, but I’d say the style itself became popular because it was fresh look that exuded power, money and seduction. Gordon Gekko became a noun because men of all ages wanted to be him. I don’t know if the "The Gekko" will ever be as popular, but I do think all men want to look powerful!' she added. 

The banker-hairdo has also been seen on brother Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump 

Social media influencers have also followed the Gekko hairdo fad as it exudes success, wealth, and power

Power move: These men site Gekko as the inspiration for their slick do's

Barbers across the nation coin the look a 'slick back pompadour'.

'[These] looks are absolutely coming back into style. I’ve seen a lot of them lately. Most clients of mine who rock a style like this come from families with money, since it portrays class and wealth (not all, but most). From what I can tell, a lot of men’s hairstyles originate from European soccer players, then make their way over to us in the States,' barber Jesse Giffa of Master Barber New York said to the magazine. 

'As soon as guys like Scott Disick and G-Eazy started rocking these cuts, it helped the style blow up even more,' he added. 

Sam Real, a real estate broker in Beverly Hills, cites Gekko as the inspiration for his pull back locks. 

'Gordon Gekko is an iconic figure that every person in finance or sales looks up to. So in short, yes, his haircut did influence my adoption of it,' he said. 

'That said, everything about Gekko makes him portray power and success, so his haircut represents class more than anything,' he added.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
