The Best Ryan Gosling Throwback Videos Ever. EVER.

Let's take a journey back in time and experience a magical, fleeting moment of time that's been hidden until now: Ryan Gosling dancing in 1992. Last weekend, three videos of Gosling's childhood dance recitals made their way around the internet, and they serve as definitive proof that Gosling has never been unattractive or unsure of his own attractiveness, because these are simply the facts of his life. Other Gosling throwback videos, like the one where he performs with Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez, have made the rounds before, but both pale in comparison to the beauty that is Ryan & Company taking the stage.
