At 12 years old, Gosling joined The Mickey Mouse Club, where he met other future stars Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake.

A year later, he got his first starring role in The Believer. While the film was well-received by critics and fans, it did not perform well at the box office, earning only $416,925 in the US despite having a budget of $1.5 million.

Rise to Stardom

While Ryan Gosling’s net worth was still relatively small in comparison to what it would be two decades later, Gosling found himself with a number of memorable roles in the early 2000s.

The Notebook

Ryan Gosling became a household name after starring in the 2004 film adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel, The Notebook. The film grossed over $118.2 million at the worldwide box office on its $29 million budget.
