Jake Gyllenhaal reveals to Ellen what he wears to bed

It's nothing.

This is One Good Thing, a weekly column where we tell you about one of the few nice things that happened this week.


Jake Gyllenhaal sleeps naked, folks.

During the actor's appearance on Ellen this week, Gyllenhaal answered all of Ellen Degeneres' Burning Questions. The pair had a hilariously good time, pressing buttons and chatting about everything from his underwear preferences (briefs) to his favorite body part (the nape of a woman's neck).

When asked what he wears to bed, Gyllenhaal answers, "nothing," to which the crowd loudly responds with whoops and cheers.

At one point, Degeneres asks "What celebrity can you do an impression of?" Gyllenhaal, after a second of thought, admits that he can do Harrison Ford in The Fugitive. He goes on to show it off, getting a quick standing ovation from Degeneres.

Ford himself watched Gyllenhaal's impression when he appeared on Ellen after him.

Gyllenhaal was so excited that the Indiana Jones actor had watched his rendition of The Fugitive that he uploaded the clip to his Instagram. The super sweet caption reads, "I’ve watched The Fugitive 1,000 times since I was a kid. Watching Harrison Ford watching me do Richard Kimble is a dream come true. If I could write a letter to me at 12 years old..."

Degeneres responded with a silly Inception-esque comment.

Thank you to Ellen for asking the juiciest of questions and thank you to Jake for answering them. We're forever grateful.

Harry is a fellow on the Culture Team. He loves memes and Taylor Swift (no, like, actually.) He'd like to thank his parents for always believing in him. This will be his first broadway production. Oh, wait, he thought this was a Playbill bio...
