Ryan Gosling is a man of many talents. He's got good looks and considerable acting talent.

He is also great at being M.C. Hammer, as a new video from ancient times has revealed.

In it you can watch a 12-year-old Ryan Gosling wear the baggiest pants known to mankind in the fashion of rapper M.C. Hammer, as he dances with a group of girls as part of a recital in 1992. You can watch the whole "Ryan and Company" performance below.

Seriously, the guy has skills, even at a young age. The Internet, already in love with Gosling, might not be able to handle this latest revelation. The video, taken a year before Gosling would join The Mickey Mouse Club, is what makes the Internet so great. Home videos from years past can now live forever, thanks to the power of the web, which means Gosling will never be able to forget his time wearing M.C. Hammer pants. And now, you won't either.

It might be the best performance of Gosling's career. I mean, what can possibly top this? Even Gosling himself knows that he might as well retire. There is nowhere to go but down.

Obviously I peaked early. Thank you @JaneChupick and twitter for the check up from the neck up.
