Trivia: Michael Douglas (Gekko) shops in London's Savile Row store and a signed picture of Michael's father, Kirk Douglas, is hanging over a fireplace. The real picture is in fact hanging in a real London shop.
Trivia: In Wall Street (1987), Bud Fox moves up to a nice apt. building. In the re-make, when Gordon Gekko gets out of prison and rents his apt., it is in the same building that Bud Fox once lived in.
Answer: Gordon did talk about his son (who was then about 3-years-old) to Bud Fox in Wall Street, but that does not mean he only had one kid. He may have had another child that wasn't mentioned. It's also possible that Gekko's wife was pregnant at the time he was indicted.
