A recently resurfaced photo of an interesting selection of celebrities has got everyone talking, seeing as they're all children in the snap.

The picture has gone viral and includes four stars who were, at the time, part of the popular Mickey Mouse Club show that aired on Disney Channel.

The photo was posted on nostalgia account @90sanxiety on Instagram, who regularly post photos and videos of celebrities, vehicles and life in the 1990s.

The Mickey Mouse Club ran intermittently from 1955-1996, featuring skits, music videos from the Mouseketeers, live concerts and different themes for episodes to view on TV, almost like a kids' Saturday Night Live.

It served as a platform for child actors to give their career a boost, with the likes of Christina Aguilera and Keri Russell going on to have successful careers in the entertainment industry after stints as one of the Mouseketeers, as they were called.

However, three of the four in the photo above are widely considered to be the most successful to have come out of the show.

The photo has got thousands of likes since being posted.

As you could probably tell, Barbie star Ryan Gosling sits in the middle of the photo, with a look that hasn't seemed to change much over the span of his 30+ year career as an actor and occasional singer.

Britney Spears is on the left of the photo, and would be propelled to fame just five years after the show, selling over 150 million records worldwide, affectionately being granted the name 'the Princess of Pop'.

On the right is former NSYNC frontman Justin Timberlake, and despite occasionally venturing into acting with films such as The Social Network and Friends With Benefits, he is best known for his singing career, with 10 Grammy Awards and fittingly known as 'the Prince of Pop'.

But what about the boy lying across the three stars-to-be?

The caption read: "Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake & TJ Fantini."

People were curious as to who the boy lying across the three was.

A lot of people didn't know who TJ Fantini was, and the comments reflected this.

One user commented: "I was about to make a smart ass comment about who’s tj fantini but then I realised I’m even more of a nobody than TJ fantini so I decided to just keep my mouth shut"

Another said: "*Googles TJ Fantini*…"

But someone has left a brief explanation of who TJ Fantini really is, posting: "Retired from acting. Today he's a council member in the state of Washington and continues to do music now as a hobby."

On Fantini's Instagram page, he has numerous posts with his wife and child, as well as some photos advertising his campaign to be part of Anacortes City Council in 2023.

He describes himself as a 'Musician / Entrepreneur' in his bio.

Maybe not everyone from the show ended up being an A-list celebrity, but everyone seems happy with how things turned out.
