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

The center-parted, pomade-polished hairdo became de rigeur in the late 1980s after the hit 1987 movie Wall Street.

And now the sleek look is back - and it's no longer just for bankers. Social media influencers and celebrities alike are choosing the style, including Chris Pine, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Andy Garcia.

Reality star Scott Disick, soccer players Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, and Toby Alderweireld, and even the president's sons Eric and Don Jr. have imitated Gecko's power and success through his hairstyle.

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 look is back in fashion adopted by celebrities like Chris Pine, G-Eazy, and Scott Disick

Athletes also love to wear the slicked back pompadour as seen on David Beckham (left) and Cristiano Ronaldo (right)

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.
