You know this blog Karen did on Miley Cyrus got me wondering what some of the other kids from the infamous Mikey Mouse Club used to look like! So I decided to do a then and now. Enjoy!
Britney appeared on the show from age 11-13, before returning to Louisiana. Soon after, she hit the music scene.
Justin Timberlake met future girlfriend Britney Spears, future bandmate JC Chasez and future tourmate Christina Aguilera.
Christina Aguilera appeared on the Mickey Mouse Club in 1993. A few years later, she returned to Disney to record a song for Mulan, which led to her getting a record deal the next year.
Ryan kissed Britney when they were in the Mickey while playing spin-the-bottle!
In fact even Beyonce Knowles can credit the Mouse with helping her work her acting chops; she acted in Disney’s coming-of age series The Famous Jett Jackson before tackling the lead in MTV’s Hip Hopera: Carmen.
FYI The Mickey Mouse Club was an American variety television show that aired from 1955 to 1996 featuring a regular but ever-changing cast of child performers. It’s claim to actual fame is the fact that pop sensations like Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling and Keri Russell (my new discovery, bit I love her in The Americans) ALL started out as Mouseketeers.
