Early life and education

James Lance Bass was born in Laurel, Mississippi, to James Irvin Bass Jr., a medical technologist, and Diane (née Pulliam), a middle school mathematics, English, and career discovery teacher. Along with his older sister, Stacy, Bass grew up in adjacent Ellisville, Mississippi, and was raised as a Southern Baptist. Bass has described his family as devoutly Christian and conservative, and has said that his childhood was "extremely happy".

As a young boy, Bass developed an interest in space, and at age 9 traveled to Cape Canaveral, Florida, with his father to watch his first live Space Shuttle launch. Of this experience, Bass said, "I was certain from then on that my future was to be involved with space." Shortly after, Bass attended space camp in Titusville, Florida, and aspired to attend college and study engineering, with the hope that he would one day work for NASA.

When Bass was 11 years old, his father was transferred to a different hospital, and the family moved to Clinton, Mississippi. Bass began singing in his Baptist church choir and was encouraged to audition for local performance groups by his childhood best friend, Darren Dale, the youngest child of former longtime Mississippi Insurance Commissioner George Dale. Bass joined the Mississippi Show Stoppers, a statewide music group sponsored by the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum, and the Attaché Show Choir, a national-award-winning competitive show choir group at Clinton High School. He was also a member of a seven-man vocal group named Seven Card Stud, which competed at state fairs and performed at several social and political events for Senator Trent Lott.

At Clinton High School, Bass was elected vice president of his junior class and has said that he performed well in math and science. However, Bass later said that his primary focus during high school was singing, and when reflecting on it, he remembers "hardly anything" about academia.

Career

Music

NSYNC

NSYNC
In 1995, during his junior year of high school, Bass received a call from Justin Timberlake and his mother, Lynn Harless, who asked Bass if he would be interested in auditioning for the pop group NSYNC after the group's original bass singer, Jason Galasso, had quit. Timberlake's vocal coach (who had worked with Bass during his time as a Mississippi Show Stopper) recommended Bass as a replacement. Bass was accepted into the group after auditioning in front of the other bandmembers, and soon left school to move to Orlando, Florida and rehearse full-time. Bass has said that he did not know how to dance before he joined NSYNC, and therefore found much of the group's choreography difficult to learn.

According to an episode of VH1's Driven, Jan Bolz, president of BMG's German division, offered NSYNC a recording contract under the condition that they replace Bass, whose dancing, he felt, "wasn't at the same level as all the others." However, Chris Kirkpatrick (who formed the band) refused to accept the contract without Bass. The group's manager, Johnny Wright, convinced Bolz that Bass's dancing would quickly improve. Bolz conceded, and the group soon moved to Munich, Germany to record their first album with BMG. NSYNC began extensive touring in Europe, and Bass's mother quit her job to tour with the group as a chaperone, as Bass was still a minor.

Free Lance Entertainment

In 2000, Bass formed a music management company named Free Lance Entertainment, which was a joint venture with Mercury Nashville, a division of Mercury Records. Vowing to keep the company "a strictly family-run operation", Bass employed his parents and sister as talent scouts, and he recruited childhood friend and aspiring country singer Meredith Edwards for the company's first release. Edwards began touring with NSYNC as an opening act in the fall of 2000, and Bass teamed up with MTV to hold a nationwide talent search for more artists later that year. However, Free Lance soon folded after disappointing sales of Edwards's debut album, Reach.

Acting

Film and television

Bass guest-starred on The WB drama series 7th Heaven, playing Rick Palmer, a love interest for Beverley Mitchell's character, Lucy. The following year, while NSYNC was in the midst of recording Celebrity, Bass received his first starring role in the 2001 motion picture On the Line. Bass played Kevin, a man who falls in love with a woman on a Chicago train and begins a search to find her again.

The film was produced by Bass's production company, A Happy Place (later renamed Bacon & Eggs), and it featured appearances by Jerry Stiller, Al Green, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, former WWE wrestler Chyna, and Bass's bandmates Timberlake, Kirkpatrick and Fatone, the latter in a major role. The film also featured a soundtrack which included previously unreleased songs by NSYNC and Britney Spears. Bass collaborated with Joey Fatone, Mandy Moore, Christian Burns and True Vibe (as the "On the Line Allstars") for the film's theme song, "On the Line".

Despite heavy marketing towards NSYNC teen fans, the film was a commercial failure, grossing only US$4.2 million domestically despite its $10-million budget. The film, along with Bass's acting, was poorly received by critics. Bass later said he felt the film's success was greatly hindered by its release date, which came one week after the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2001. In his 2007 autobiography, Bass wrote, "That was it our film was finished... once the country went to war, there was no way our film was going to be on anyone's top-priority list."

After On the Line, Bass appeared in Zoolander and Wes Craven's Cursed as himself, and he played a wedding singer in I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. Bass has also lent his voice to several animated television programs, such as Robot Chicken and Disney's Kim Possible, Handy Manny and Higglytown Heroes. Bass made an appearance in the 2008 film Tropic Thunder. As a guest star in the 2013 Gravity Falls episode "Boyz Crazy", Bass plays in the boy band, Sev'ral Timez (which is a parody of NSYNC). In 2014, Bass guest starred on an episode of the Comedy Central series Review, in which he visited space along with the show's lead character.

Video games

Bass voiced the Final Fantasy VII character Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts.

Broadway

On August 14, 2007, Bass began a six-month stint playing Corny Collins in the Broadway musical Hairspray, coinciding with the play's five-year stage anniversary. He ended his run in Hairspray on January 6, 2008.

Media personality/game shows, reality shows, and talk shows

In 2015, Bass joined season two of The Meredith Vieira Show as a full-time contributing panelist.

Bass and his mother competed in 2017 with other duos in the FOX reality cooking series My Kitchen Rules, and were the runners-up.

In 2020, Lance appeared with friend Joey Fatone on Meredith Vieira's syndicated program, 25 Words or Less (season 1, episodes 121–123).

In April 2021, Bass became a panelist for the new TV series Unicorn Hunters, a business investment show where he and other judges determine whether or not to invest in start-ups and other companies with high valuation potential.

Radio

Bass hosted Dirty Pop with Lance Bass, a daily evening drive time radio show focusing on pop culture and entertainment news on OutQ, an LGBTQ-geared station on Sirius XM. Bass was also the host of the weekly "Pop2Kountdown" on Pop2K, which counts down the 30 biggest hits from that week from a different year in the 2000s.

Podcast

On January 3, 2023, Bass released the trailer for his podcast, Frosted Tips with Lance Bass. The first episode aired on January 9, 2023, in which he interviewed former bandmate JC Chasez of NSYNC.

In February, he began releasing episodes for another podcast, The Last Soviet, describing the story of Sergei Krikalev's time on the Mir space station during the collapse of the Soviet Union as well as Bass's own experience training at Star City.

''Dancing with the Stars''

Dancing with the Stars (American TV series) season 7
Bass was a contestant on season 7 of Dancing with the Stars and was paired with swing dance champ Lacey Schwimmer. Bass and Schwimmer reached the grand finale in competition and finished in third place.

Production company

In January 2001, Bass formed his first film production company, A Happy Place, with film producers Rich Hull, Wendy Thorlakson and Joe Anderson. The company was geared towards family-friendly films, and received the Movieguide award for "Excellence in Family-Oriented Programming" for its first feature film, On the Line. After On the Line, A Happy Place changed its name to Bacon & Eggs and produced its second feature film, Lovewrecked, in 2005. The film debuted on ABC Family in January 2007, starring Amanda Bynes, Chris Carmack, and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, with Bass in a minor role. This too received mostly negative reviews.

Bass later formed a separate production company named Lance Bass Productions. On May 14, 2007, Brian Graden announced that Lance Bass Productions would be working with the Logo network in executive producing a reality television show about the music business. It was reported that the show will focus on the creation and development of an all-gay boy band. To date no such project has been developed or aired.

In 2008, Bass co-produced The Grand, and Bass' company is reported to be developing a music docudrama about the life of rock bands on tour.

In October 2011, Bass debuted his own boy band called Heart2Heart. In August 2013, Bass became an executive producer of the documentary film Kidnapped for Christ along with Mike C. Manning. The film sheds light on controversial behavior modification methods used on children, sent there by their parents, at an Evangelical Christian reform school in the Dominican Republic. The film was sold to Showtime, to be released on television July 10, 2014.

Personal life

Bass dated actress Danielle Fishel of TV's Boy Meets World throughout 1999 and 2000. Fishel said she was heavily invested in the relationship, commenting that she was "so in love" with Bass. Bass ended the relationship after one year and continued to exclusively date women until he was 22.

In his autobiography, Bass documents two gay relationships that predated media speculation; one with someone from Miami, Florida, named Jesse, with whom Bass lived for two years, and another with an Idaho native named Joe. Bass began dating Amazing Race winner Reichen Lehmkuhl in early 2006, a courtship that garnered tabloid coverage and led to Bass's decision to come out. Bass described his relationship with Lehmkuhl as "very stable"; however, the couple split up several months later. Shortly after his split with Lehmkuhl, Bass briefly dated Brazilian model and LXTV host Pedro Andrade. From August 2007 to March 2008, Bass dated New York-based hairdresser Ben Thigpen. After a year and a half of dating, Bass became engaged to Michael Turchin in September 2013. Bass and Turchin married on December 20, 2014, in Los Angeles.

In a 2006 interview, Bass said he has Attention-Deficit Disorder. In August 2024, he made it known that he has type 1.5 diabetes, which had been misdiagnosed a few years earlier as type 2. Bass's favorite music bands are Aerosmith, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Journey, and his favorite actress is Lucille Ball, whom he grew up watching on I Love Lucy re-runs. He is a self-described "huge Dr. Seuss fan", devoting an entire room in his Jackson, Mississippi, estate to Seuss memorabilia. Bass has said he is a Christian and that he regularly attends church, though he considers himself to be non-denominational. He is the godfather of former bandmate and best friend Joey Fatone's daughters, Briahna and Kloey.

At age 38, Bass was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, an inflammatory immune disease, and took part in an ad campaign by Amgen to raise awareness about the disease.

Sexual orientation

The thing is, I'm not ashamed that's the one thing I want to say. I don't think it's wrong, I'm not devastated going through this. I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life. I'm just happy.

Marriage and family

Space tourism plans

In early 2002, Lena Banks, a space advocate and founder/producer of Think Tank Ink Productions, was developing her Youngest Person in Space project. At one point they had planned for a U.S. version of a space competition show, The Big Mission, that had been successful in Denmark; contestants would go through rigorous training and vie for a seat on a Russian Soyuz space capsule. The project later pivoted to a documentary of a celebrity training and going into space, intended to air on a major network.

When Banks mentioned the space project to a friend, the friend's daughter shouted out, "Lance Bass wants to go into space!" The girl, who was an NSYNC fan, had learned of Bass' lifelong dream of space travel from a promotional online chat. Banks spoke to Bass' management who went to him with the proposal. "At first he thought we were joking," Banks remarked. "I assured him it was for real; he accepted and we moved forward with the project." In August 2002, Bass entered cosmonaut training in Star City, Russia.

To be admitted into training, Bass had to go through strenuous physicals. He had recently discovered a cardiac arrhythmia after a hospital visit while on tour in 1999 for what he thought was a stomach virus. While the condition had been assessed as benign, it was disqualifying for the cosmonaut program, so he agreed to undergo heart surgery to correct it

The Russian space program had agreed to provide an abbreviated four-month training program, but at several points his training was interrupted due to ongoing funding issues, and he finally received cosmonaut certification only after paying the remaining $450,000 himself. He then went on to Houston's Johnson Space Center (JSC) for further training in the astronaut program.

Bass was scheduled to fly into space on the Soyuz TMA-1 mission that would launch on October 30, 2002. The capsule was to fly to the International Space Station and land in a desert in Kazakhstan. However, the original deal to air the documentary about Bass, which was to be a major funding source, fell through in mid-2002. Bass's camp turned instead to MTV, who initially agreed to sponsor the trip but then backed out over financial terms Shortly after, all of Bass's other sponsorships fell through, including one sponsor who pulled out because they worried about their brand being tarnished if Bass were to die on the mission. Bass was eventually rejected from the program, and was replaced on the flight by Russian cosmonauts Yury Lonchakov and Sergei Zalyotin and Belgium's Frank De Winne.

Space advocacy

In 2003, Bass began serving as World Space Week's Youth Spokesman. Bass has said that he believes young people becoming more interested in space exploration "will help the future of our planet". From 2003 to 2005, Bass spent World Space Week traveling to American high schools speaking with students about space exploration and encouraging them to explore careers in science and mathematics. Bass is a member of the National Space Society, a non-profit educational space advocacy organization founded by Wernher von Braun. Bass has served on the National Space Society's board of governors since October 2004, alongside other space advocates such as actor Tom Hanks and author and futurist Sir Arthur C. Clarke. In a 2007 interview with GQ magazine, Bass said he "absolutely" still intends on going to space, and that he hopes to work on a space documentary. Bass has also retained fluency in Russian, which he was required to learn during his training.

Autobiography

Out of Sync (book)
Following public response surrounding his coming out, Bass announced that he was releasing an autobiography. The book, entitled Out of Sync, was published on October 23, 2007. It was co-written by The New York Times best-selling biographer Marc Eliot, who also wrote the book's introduction, and was published by Simon Spotlight Entertainment, a division of Simon & Schuster. The 208-page book covers what Bass describes as "the first chapter" in his life, from his childhood growing up in rural Mississippi, to his efforts to obtain a seat on a Russian space capsule and the proceeding financial issues he had with his sponsors, and culminating with Bass's decision to go public with his sexuality. The book includes details about boyfriends that he kept from family and friends. He recounts NSYNC's 2002 decision to go on an "extended hiatus". Bass said Justin Timberlake was the sole reason NSYNC did not get back together. Out of Sync debuted on the New York Times Best Seller list for the week of November 11, 2007.

Philanthropy and causes

Bass has been involved with a number of charities. In 2001, he founded The Lance Bass Foundation, a non-profit organization that was designed to meet the health needs of low-income children. In 2003, Bass donated $30,000 US to establish the Amber Pulliam Special Education Endowment at the University of Southern Mississippi. Named for his younger cousin, Amber Pulliam, who has Down syndrome, it serves financial aid students from Mississippi's Pine Belt who plan a career in special education.

After 2005's Hurricane Katrina, Bass launched "uBid For Hurricane Relief", a celebrity auction to benefit victims of the hurricane, with uBid.com. Proceeds from the auction were split between the Child Welfare League of America, The Brett Favre Fourward Foundation, and Ashton Kutcher's RockWorks Foundation. Many of Bass's family members in Mississippi were directly affected by the hurricane. That same year, Bass appeared on an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition with a donation to a Russian woman to save a camp for disabled children in Russia.

Bass is a member of the Environmental Media Association's board of directors. He has also been involved with Animal Avengers, Shannon Elizabeth's animal rescue organization. He has two dogs which he adopted from a rescue shelter, both of whom he posed with in a PETA ad urging people to adopt rather than buy animals. In August 2007, Bass wrote a guest commentary for LOGO's "Visible Vote '08" blog, in which he expressed support for gay marriage. In September 2007, Bass participated in a series of GLAAD television advertisements promoting tolerance for the LGBTQ community. Bass has also been involved in fundraising for the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.
