Timothée Chalamet's Intense Preparation for Bob Dylan Role

Timothée Chalamet has garnered attention for his intense preparation for the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown. His co-stars, including Edward Norton and Monica Barbaro, describe his commitment as 'relentless,' with Chalamet enforcing strict rules on set that included no visitors or distractions during filming. Norton emphasized the need for focus on such a significant project, echoing Chalamet's sentiments about protecting the integrity of Dylan's legacy. Chalamet himself admitted that he was motivated by 'panic' to avoid losing moments of discovery in character, even going so far as to have his call sheet name listed as Bob Dylan. As he immerses himself in this role, Chalamet draws inspiration from notable actors like Oscar Isaac and Christian Bale, who taught him to guard his process amid the pressures of portraying such an iconic figure. The film is set to premiere in theaters on December 25.
