NEW YORK (AP) – Michael Douglas has channelled the confidence of ruthless corporate raider Gordon Gekko while walking the red carpet at the New York City premiere of his latest film, 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps'.

The Academy Award-winning actor recently announced he's being treated for throat cancer. He posed for photos on Monday night with co-stars including Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan and director Oliver Stone. He didn't give interviews.

LaBeouf calls the 65-year-old Douglas a "wolf". He notes Douglas showed no signs of weakness while making the 'Wall Street' sequel, which opens on Friday.

Stone says "it's a struggle" and "it's tough," but Douglas is "fighting".

Stone also directed the original 'Wall Street' in 1987. The movie featured Charlie Sheen as a stockbroker hungry for success. Douglas won an Oscar for playing Gekko.
