Timothée Chalamet is making headlines as he continues his transformation into Bob Dylan for the upcoming film A Complete Unknown. The 28-year-old actor was recently spotted in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood sporting an outfit reminiscent of the iconic folk musician's wardrobe.
Chalamet, who will portray a young Bob Dylan in the biopic directed by James Mangold, was seen donning a black button-up shirt, green pants, a brown suede jacket, and sunglasses, completing the look with his signature messy hair. The actor's commitment to embodying Dylan's style and music is evident as he prepares for the role.
The film will delve into Dylan's early years, depicting his rise to fame from a 19-year-old arriving in New York with minimal resources to becoming a global sensation within a few years. Mangold has confirmed that Chalamet will be singing as Dylan in the movie, which will also feature portrayals of other music legends of the time such as Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, and Pete Seeger.
Elle Fanning is set to play Dylan's love interest, Sylvie Russo, while Edward Norton will portray Seeger. Chalamet's dedication to the role is evident in his preparation, including a visit to Dylan's high school in Hibbing, Minnesota, where he engaged with drama students and discussed acting and theater.
Chalamet's vocal coach, Eric Vetro, praised the actor's commitment to the role, noting that audiences will be amazed by his portrayal of Dylan's singing. Vetro highlighted Chalamet's ability to embody the essence of Dylan at a young age, drawing parallels to Renée Zellweger's performance as Judy Garland in the film Judy.
A Complete Unknown is highly anticipated by fans eager to see Chalamet's portrayal of the legendary musician. The film's release date has not yet been announced, but Chalamet's dedication and talent are sure to make it a must-watch for music and movie enthusiasts alike.
