I’m pretty sure this movie would have killed 12 year old me, who had crushes on both Gene Kelly and pre-fame Ryan Gosling, would have killed me DEAD.
I was just watching an episode of Road to Avonlea that pre-fame Gosling did. Worst Cockney accent. Was hilarious.
I knew him from the Mickey Mouse Club. If I ever met peeps like him or Justin Timberlake I’m gonna make a fool of myself because I’ll be like “who cares about now, YOU WERE ON THE MMC”
Haha I totally found and recorded that episode of Road to Avonlea. I used to have a VHS or two of all the random episodes of shows he did that I managed to track down. Including some MMC episodes where he sang or was more prominent. I think that VHS tape still out there, but Dad recorded over it because he is still in the stone age and still has a vcr he uses to tape shows, and they don’t make vhs’s anymore so he has to scrounge.
