Disney star Keri Russell said that girls were cut from the “Mickey Mouse Club” show once they looked like they could be “sexually active.”

During the 48-year-old actress’ appearance on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s podcast Dinner’s on Me, Russell talked about being the “least talented” mouseketeer on the 90s revival of “The All New Mickey Mouse Club” show on the Disney Channel and said she left the show at 17 because of the series’ rules about cast members not being too old.

“Yeah, it’s usually, like, girls who looked like they were sexually active,” Russell said. “Which, probably, I was one of the first.”

“They’re like, ‘she’s out. That one is gone,'” she joked. “Meanwhile, the boys stayed till they were like 19. I was like, ‘By the way, I had sex with that person, so I know that they’ve had sex.’ For real.”

At one point, Russell talked about what she called the “creepiest part of kid acting” which she said is “one or two kids with all adults,” People magazine reported.

“So, that really accelerates the adultification of everything. And for ‘The Mickey Mouse Club,’ there were 19 of us,” she added. “The adults were invisible to me.”

“So, I wasn’t completely alone with all the adults,” Russell continued. “And I think that was helpful.”

The “Waitress” star landed her role on the Disney show when she was 15, appearing on the hit from 1991-1994. 

During an interview last year, Russell said she was “lucky” to leave “The All-New Mickey Mouse Club” with her “sanity” and “dignity” because others weren’t as fortunate, without explaining further. 

The “Felicity” star opened up about the early days of her career and being cast for the popular Disney show as one of the coveted Mouseketeers along with future superstars like Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling, and Christina Aguilera, W Magazine reported.

When pressed by the reporter if the actress saved “anything from your time on the show,” Russell answered, “My sanity, my dignity. Not everyone got out alive.”

President Joe Biden’s team bumped his scheduled “Big Boy” news conference to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, immediately prompting users to flood X — formerly Twitter — with possible reasons for the delay.

A number suggested that the move had been made in order to accommodate an afternoon nap in the hopes that Biden would be sharper than usual — and others cautioned that even that was a risk, since the later the news conference went, the closer it would get to the president’s bedtime.

“BIDEN’s presser tonight is now 6:30p,” Jake Sherman announced, and the replies poured in.

Students for Life President Kristan Hawkins commented, “Gotta say, I love the move. Very strategic, and smart to give himself a hard out at 6:45 with an excuse that people will believe: it’s bed time.”

“He needs a nap to rest up from the prior nap,” another posted.

And while most of the comments focused on whether or not Biden would be napping prior to the press conference or heading straight to bed afterward, a few picked up on another possible reason for choosing 6:30 p.m. specifically: that’s when evening newscasts air on the east coast, meaning that a presidential news conference would not finish in time for the local stations to cover it.

“The network evening newscasts air at this time on the East Coast… in case you’re wondering why they chose this exact time,” Joe Concha said.

Newsbusters managing editor Curtis Houck had the same idea, which he explained further in a thread.

“With the White House moving Biden’s press conference back another hour to 6:30 p.m. Eastern, this allows them to further bury it. Why? Stick with me for a second,” he began.

“The network evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC air at 6:30 and, if it had been earlier in the day like originally planned, they’d have a story,” he continued. “Now, they can bypass them for primetime cable shows. ABC, CBS, and NBC shows won’t truly have a set of reactions until Friday AM.”

AND, because of this, ABC, CBS, NBC aren’t as likely to carry it given they have newscast to air, meaning fewer people will see it.

“AND, because of this, ABC, CBS, NBC aren’t as likely to carry it given they have newscast to air, meaning fewer people will see it,” he concluded, adding later, “But at this point, anything they can do to shrink the audience that will see this thing in full and unvarnished (i.e. without watching news reports later), they’re going to do it.”
