Girls are excluded from the “Mickey Mouse Club” if they appear “sexually active”

There were strict rules in the mouse house.

Keri Russell, 48, who was a member of the Mickey Mouse Club as a teenager, revealed on Tuesday’s episode of Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s podcast “Dinner’s on Me” that there is a ban at the club.

“Was there an age limit after 17 that you couldn’t be on the show anymore?” asked Ferguson Russell, who joined the show in 1991 at the age of 15 and left at 17.

“Yeah, usually it’s girls who look like they’re sexually active, and I was probably one of the first,” Russell said. “They say, ‘She’s out. Oh, she’s out.'”

Meanwhile, “the boys stayed until they were 19,” she said.

Russell added: “I was like, ‘By the way, I had sex with this person, so I know they had sex.’ Seriously.”

She hasn’t revealed who she had her first fling with, but Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling, JC Chasez, Britney Spears, Dale Godboldo, Josh Ackerman and Nikki Deloach are all fellow Mousketeers.

“You know, girls and sexuality,” Russell said. “And by the way, I had the body of a 12-year-old boy. There’s nothing really sexy about me, but I think that’s what made Disney nervous. Pregnant Mouseketeers are not on the list.”

Russell said she was confident she could survive life as a child star “alive” because she was mostly surrounded by people her own age.

“I think the scariest thing about child acting is that it’s usually one or two kids with all the adults, and that really accelerates the adultness of everything,” she said. “And on The Mickey Mouse Club, there were 19 of us. The adults were invisible to me, you know what I mean?”

In the same podcast episode, Russell, who was last seen in the Netflix hit “The Diplomat,” also talked about her relationship with her “The Americans” co-star Matthew Rhys, 49.

The couple has been together since the end of 2013 and have a 7-year-old son, Sam.

“I can really enjoy it, you know? And it was so fun that we were able to do this together in this … prime of our lives. And you know, if we had met when we were 20, we wouldn’t be together,” she said.

“We were just at the right moment. It was so sexy and spy-y,” she said of meeting him in the critically acclaimed spy drama, which ran from 2013 to 2018 and in which Russell and Rhys played KGB spies pretending to be an American couple.

“And this world was just so slow,” she said.

“And of course, as you know, it’s fun to be part of something that is so successful and popular.”
