Before becoming one of Hollywood’s most recognizable faces, Ryan Gosling paid his dues like everyone else: he started with nothing and worked his way up to the top. Few people know that this handsome man first appeared on television when he was barely 16 years old. Back in the day, he played a small part on The Mickey Mouse Club, alongside stars like Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Christina Aguilera. It was only a few years later that he had his big break with The Notebook, and the rest is history.
