Timothée Chalamet was recently spotted in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood, fully embracing his role as Bob Dylan for the upcoming biopic “A Complete Unknown.”
The 28-year-old actor donned a black button-up shirt, green pants, a brown suede jacket, and sunglasses, capturing Dylan’s iconic style from the 20th century.
This transformation is part of Chalamet’s preparation for the film, directed by James Mangold, which follows a young Dylan’s journey to New York with just two dollars in his pocket and his meteoric rise to fame within three years.
In addition to nailing Dylan’s distinctive wardrobe, Chalamet is also taking on the challenge of singing as Dylan in the film. To authentically portray the legendary musician, Chalamet visited Dylan’s high school in Hibbing, Minnesota, where he spent time with the school’s drama department.
His vocal coach, Eric Vetro, has praised Chalamet’s dedication, noting that audiences will be “shocked” by how convincingly he captures Dylan’s voice.
The film will also feature portrayals of other notable figures from the era, including Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, and Pete Seeger, with Elle Fanning and Edward Norton joining the cast as Sylvie Russo and Seeger, respectively.
Chalamet’s commitment to his role has been evident, from his meticulous research to his efforts in embodying Dylan’s unique mannerisms and voice.
“A Complete Unknown” promises to be a compelling portrayal of Bob Dylan’s early years and his impact on the American music scene.
While the film’s release date has not yet been announced, the anticipation for Chalamet’s performance continues to build.
