Ryan Gosling Has Always Been Awesome. Here's Proof From 20 Years Ago

Ryan Gosling was king of swag long before the world knew his name. Long before The Notebook.

At 34, the dishy Ryan may be the object of collective female affection across the world (and we write this with in dead earnest, no exaggeration) but in actual fact, he's been at it since age 11 or thereabouts.

We'll tell all, but first, in the spirit of Women's Day, a quick question - what do (most) women really want? The answer - well, Ryan Gosling of course but until science finds a way to clone him endlessly for the greater good, videos of Ryan Gosling being awesome. Someone, somewhere was kind enough to unearth and share on social media incredible footage of a pre-teen Ryan dancing and dancing and dancing.

11-year-old (or possibly 12) Ryan was anything but ordinary and he hadn't even been recruited into the Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Club - with fellow Mouseketeers Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera - when these videos were shot. He agrees with us as well. "Obviously I peaked early," he tweeted after watching these old videos.

Here's young Ryan Gosling, a powerhouse of talent, dancing to Elvis Presley's hit song 'Hound Dog'. He arrived in a mini-Elvis car. Make way, people!
