The MMC and *NSYNC Years

Justin and Ryan Gosling stole golf carts and thought they were "big sh*t" on the set of The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, and they'd drive through the park and grab milkshakes.
After each *NSYNC performance, JT took notes while watching tapes of the show. "I was very serious," he said. "Too serious, probably. It's very type-A behavior."
He remembers the *NSYNC days as both fun and sad, and in one candid quote, he said, "We were being pitted against all these other groups, it was this big competition. We thought: we're better than them. So we worked really hard. We had a lot of fun, too, on the road. But as a lifestyle, it's isolating, and weird, and sometimes really sad. It's manic. That's the best way I can describe it. You go from an arena of 80,000 people to a tour bus where you're all alone, from a place where the decibel level is so loud you can almost see it, to absolute silence."
Of course, the fame did come with perks. It really was a wild time for him and fellow '90s groups like Backstreet Boys because, as he once put it, "We could literally go, 'Oh, man, let's go to Bali,' and we'd be on a plane to Bali.'"
Meanwhile, although it's a little hard to believe, he claims he wasn't the guy getting all the "action" with girls. He told Playboy that because he was the youngest one in the group, the other guys were protective of him.
