The hungry guests at the Dolby Theatre didn't need too much persuading and amazingly Rock revealed later on that Hollywood's hottest helped raise $65,243 for the good cause.Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Charlize Theron and Kate Winslet were just some of the stars spotted snacking on the treats.

Rock, 51, did however use some guilt-tripping tactics to help convince the celebs to help his daughters out, explaining that the Oscars gig meant him spending a lot of time away from home.'I’ve been away from my two daughters at a very important time in their life,' he said, adding, 'I have missed most of Girl Scout cookie season,

'Last night Zahra, my youngest called me up and said, "Daddy how come we never sell the most cookies? How come Mrs. Dunn wins every year?"'

'It would mean so much to my little girl if we could beat Linda Dunn.' he said.

'I want you to reach into your millionaire pockets and buy some of my daughters' Girl Scout cookies,' he announced as a photo of his girls flashed up behind him.'Alright, Tina Fey, get that money, girl. Charlize Theron, yes. Matt Damon, yes. Leo, you made $30 million—come on!'

Kate Winslet was pictured eyeing up a box Tagalongs while Mindy Kaling took to Twitter so show off her box of Samoas.Even after the live broadcast, the girls reportedly came back during commercial breaks to hawk more treats to hungry celebs.

They quickly found customers in Steven Spielberg and Benicio del Toro. Bale picked up a box of Thin Mints after asking his wife to loan him the cash.Superman star Henry Cavil ripped into his box of Thin Mints as soon as he got his hands on it.

Rock later took to Instagram to reveal that Joe Biden - who spoke on stage during the night - gave him $20 for the Girl Scouts.'$20 from the Vice President' the funny man can be heard saying in a clip after Biden handed him the cash as he walked by.

As Rock revealed the massive amount of money raised he joked Suge Knight had bought most of the boxes, just as cameras panned to actor R. Marcos Taylor (Straight Outta Compton) portraying the incarcerated record producer.
