Ryan Gosling has described his time on The Mickey Mouse Club as a child as "depressing".

Speaking to Interview, the actor admitted that he felt insecure alongside performers who he believed were more talented - including Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake - and often found the experience "disheartening".

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

"I remember one time they put four of us in a dance routine, but I was so off. 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."

He added: "I’d have a sketch here or there, but I didn’t end up working that much, which was disheartening."
