Lance started his own film production company, Bacon & Eggs, in 2000. In 2005, he started a television production company called Lance Bass Productions.

Bass once wanted to be an astronaut and was certified by both NASA and the Russian Space Program after several months of cosmonaut training. He wanted to ride on the Russian space mission but the plan fell through when his financial backers failed to come up with the $20 million necessary to board.

In July 2006, Bass revealed that he is gay in a cover story for People magazine. In September, 2008, Lance tells People that he’s happy for Clay Aiken coming out of the closet as being gay.

“I’m happy for him,” says Bass, 29. “It’s good to see someone actually being true to who they are. I think it’s something that’s nice to share with the world, because it really does relieve a lot of pressure off of you.”

Bass adds that he believes Aiken will “live his life the way he wants to live it and that’s the best advice I can give him.”
