He's an Oscar-nominated actor and former child star who boasts a famous family - and his godmother is Jamie Lee Curtis! So can YOU guess who it is?

This angelic youngster grew up to become one of the most famous faces in Hollywood.

Born in LA to a prominent film producer father and screenwriter mother, he made his film debut aged just 10 alongside film icon Billy Crystal.

After a flurry of small roles alongside his actress sister - who would star in a Batman film -  he landed his breakthrough role as a psychologically tormented teen in a 2001 cult classic.

A BAFTA win and an Oscar nomination would follow for his performance in an acclaimed Western drama - which many believe was robbed of the Best Picture trophy.

His latest role has seen him undergo a shock body transformation to play a tough fighter alongside a sports star.

It's Jake Gyllenhaal!  The Brokeback Mountain star, now aged 43, is among the most in-demand actors in Hollywood.

The star grew up in the world of showbiz with his Swedish director Stephen Gyllenhaal and screenwriter mother Naomi Foner. 

His older sister is Maggie Gyllenhaal, 46, who has starred in films including The Dark Knight and Crazy Heart. She also co-starred with her younger brother in 2001's Donnie Darko - which earned him critical acclaim.

Jake's godmother is Halloween icon Jamie Lee Curtis and their family home was regularly visited by Paul Newman for dinner. 

As a child Jake wore strong prescription glasses and intensive corrective lenses due to his 20/1250 vision. The star was born with a lazy eye which naturally resolved but is today classed as legally blind.

He recently told THR: 'I like to think it’s advantageous. I’ve never known anything else. When I can’t see in the morning, before I put on my glasses, it’s a place where I can be with myself.'

In 2015 boxing movie Southpaw, he removed his contacts for a scene in which police told his character Billy "The Great" Hope his wife has died - which he says forced himself to 'listen more closely.'   

He made his acting debut as Billy Crystal's son in the 1991 comedy City Slickers. He also appeared in 1993's A Dangerous Woman (along with sister Maggie),and in the 1998 comedy Homegrown.
