Stone 'bullied Douglas on Wall Street set'

Michael Douglas has revealed that Oliver Stone "bullied" him on the set of 1987 film Wall Street.

The actor, 65, said that the helmer constantly questioned his acting abilities and even asked him if he was on drugs during the film shoot, Contactmusic reports.

"He came into my trailer and said, 'You doing drugs?' I said, 'No', He said, 'Because you don't look like you've ever acted in your life'," Douglas told People.

However, he later realised that Stone was being tough on him to give his screen character an added edginess, while Douglas won an Academy Award for his performance as Gordon Gekko.

He added: "He was willing for me to hate him for the rest of the picture if it gave him (Gekko) that much more of a twist."

It was recently announced that Douglas will reprise the role for the sequel Money Never Sleeps, to be directed by Stone and co-starring Shia LeBeouf.
