After the pair were given a standing ovation for their performance in A Steady Rain at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, they offered to sell the vests off their backs for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.

They received $3,000 and $4,000 offers straight away, but Daniel and Hugh decided to sign each of their vests and agreed to sell them to the two women bidders for $3,500 each.

At one point, a female audience member screamed: ''How much for the pants?''.

Hugh responded: ''By pants, we are talking about the trousers, right?''.

After laughter from the audience, they came up with the deal for the two vests instead.

The Jame Bond actor and Wolverine of X-Men star also offered to meet audience members backstage and pose for pictures if they stumped up $2,000.
