According to Ryan Gosling, being the in The Mickey Mouse Club with stars like Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake as a child wasn’t a walk in the park.

The actor, 29, recently spoke with Interview Magazine about his two years spent dancing backup for Christina, Britney and Justin:

“It was kind of depressing because when I got there, they realized that I wasn’t really up to snuff in comparison with what some of the other kids were able to do.”

“I remember one time they put four of us in a dance routine, but I was so off,” he recalls. “I was on the end, so they just pushed the shot in closer on the other three guys to frame me out. I would just come in at the beginning of the show and then come back at the end, and occasionally I’d have a sketch here or there, but I didn’t end up working that much, which was disheartening.”

He added that he spent most of his time in the park itself (which I totally would have done too), saying:

“It was interesting as a kid to go backstage to the commissary, and to see all of the people who were playing the characters with their heads off next to them while they were eating lunch.”
