AJ McLean, Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough, and Kevin Richardson were the nucleus of the boy bans superstar group Backstreet Boys, formed in in Orlando, Florida in 1993. Did you know that ‘La La Land’ star Ryan Gosling was almost a Backstreet Boy? He was a rising star with the Mickey Mouse Club and at the proper age was asked to join the band. Ryan declined telling the boys he though they were too similar to other boy bands.
