Timothée Chalamet Stars as Bob Dylan in Biopic

Timothée Chalamet has been deeply involved in preparing for his role as Bob Dylan in the upcoming biopic A Complete Unknown, a project he has worked on for six years, which was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He shared insights on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, revealing his excitement about the film, which explores Dylan's early life and the political climate of the 1960s. Chalamet performed live on set, channeling Dylan's raw essence, with co-star Edward Norton encouraging him to sing live rather than relying on pre-recorded tracks. The film culminates in Dylan's transformative performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, showcasing his evolution from a struggling artist to an influential figure. Despite initial skepticism from peers, Chalamet's dedication, including guitar practice during Dune shoots, has garnered acclaim, with Dylan himself praising Chalamet's talent. The film is set for theatrical release on December 25, 2023.
