Watch Ryan Gosling dancing in MC Hammer pants aged 12 – he’s SO CUTE

You love Ryan Gosling, we know. But you should get ready to love him a whole lot more, as the internet has belched up an amazing vintage clip of Ryan dancing in hareem pants at a talent contest in 1992.

The footage was unveiled by Ryan’s cousin Jane Chupick, who wrote: “We’ve been reminiscing about my cuz’s dancing at Elite… And about your penchant for MC Hammer pants!”

But Ryan Gosling took it all in his stride - or rather, in his funky sidestep dance - and was more than happy to poke fun at the blast from the past on Twitter, posting:

It’s not the first time that Ryan’s talents have been spotted. A video of him performing at a talent show in 1991 was shared on YouTube in 2012, before he joined Disney Channel’s Mickey Mouse Club in 1993 alongside Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake.

Adorbs.
