Jake Gyllenhaal sold the shirt he wore in 'Brokeback Mountain' on eBay - and made a staggering $101,000.

The heartthrob actor put the checked shirt from the gay cowboy drama on the internet auction site earlier this month, with a starting price of $9.99.

After more than 150 bids, it was sold to a mystery fan this week.

The 25-year-old star is donating the cash to help disadvantaged kids through Variety - The Children's Charity of Southern California.

Meanwhile, Jake's co-star Heath Ledger has asked him to be his baby's godfather.

The actors got so close shooting the award-winning movie, Heath wanted Jake to be involved in his daughter's life.

Jake admitted he was thrilled to be asked to help raise little Matilda, Heath's daughter with partner Michelle Williams.

He said: "Heath and I are best friends now, making the film was very intense for us.

"I'm actually godfather to Heath's daughter Matilda which is an amazing honour."
