Justin Timberlake & Ryan Gosling

Before they became big-time superstars, Timberlake and Gosling were co-stars on The Mickey Mouse Club as children, along with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

During filming, Gosling’s mother needed to return to Canada for a job –which led to him moving in with the Timberlake family. 

“We were probably a little closer than the rest of the kids that were on the show just because we had to share a bathroom,” Timberlake told Ellen DeGeneres in 2011.

Jamie Dornan & Eddie Redmayne

While he found fame on Fifty Shades of Grey, Dornan revealed recently he and Redmayne shared an apartment when they were starting out in the business. 

On Live! With Kelly and Michael, Dornan said: “When we were fresh off the boat in LA, someone from the agency dropped off scripts for us. Must have been like 25 scripts in my pile and three in his.” 

He went on to explain that it meant more failures for him – yet the two have since seen great success in their careers.

An excerpt from Priestley’s book explained just how dire their living situation was prior to finding fame. 

“We lived on ramen noodles and generic beer – the kind that came in white cans labelled ‘beer’ – and Marlboro Lights cigarettes … we were broke,” he explained.

Even A-listers have real life problems.
