It's been more than two decades, but Britney Spears and Ryan Gosling had a "Mickey Mouse Club" reunion on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” show Friday.

The backstage meeting featured Gosling, 37, remembering how long it had been since he saw Spears, 36, his co-star on "The All New Mickey Mouse Club" that launched in 1993.

"Neither one of us can remember, which I think is a sign that it’s been a while," Gosling told DeGeneres.

The kids' show propelled their entertainment careers, which are now in another stratosphere, and also featured Christina Aguilera, Keri Russell, JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake.

Gosling recalled being blown away by the talent he saw as a 13-year-old when he joined the rebooted Disney club.

"I remember when we first got to the show they had all the kids perform for one another. I remember Christina Aguilera, and Britney performed," said Gosling. "I remember thinking, 'Okay, so they’re like freakishly talented.' "

"I was used to working with talented people but that was another level," he added.

When DeGeneres asked Gosling what his talent was, he deadpanned: "I was like, 'I’m Canadian.' "



Gosling also promoted his film epic, "First Man," in which he plays astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first human to walk on the moon.
