Could Ryan Gosling Have Been The Sixth Backstreet Boy?!

Get ready for some crazy alternate universe news…

In a new interview with  Celebuzz, GANGSTER SQUAD star Ryan Gosling revealed that he could have been the sixth member of the hit boy band, the Backstreet Boys:

 “When I was doing the ‘Mickey Mouse Club,’ we were living in the same place as that guy A.J. from the Backstreet Boys…They were just forming that band, so he was saying how big they were going to be… we were like, it’s never going to happen. Didn’t they already do that with New Kids? You’re a little late. Cut to… I was wrong.”

So why did Ryan not jump on the bandwagon when the group was getting big?  They didn’t call him back!  Gosling joked,

“They’re not returning my calls…I try not to think about it… You can’t live in the past. You’ve got to live in the now. That ship has sailed.”

Something tells me that even if Gosling missed that ship, he’s doing pretty well for himself.  And, on the off chance he still wants to join the pack, Backstreet member A.J. McLean told TMZ a spot is always open:

“I want to say to Mr. Ryan Gosling, I am so sorry I didn’t call you back, dude…If we ever want a sixth Backstreet Boy, I’m gonna call you.”

Yeah…because that is exactly what he wants in his career right now…

And on that note, welcome back to reality.  We are officially exiting the Twilight Zone…
