“The way he blinks while singing is so Bob”: Timothée Chalamet Gets the Approval of Fans After the First Trailer For Bob Dylan’s Biopic A Complete Unknown

Playing a famous person like Bob Dylan can be tough, especially getting his singing style and stage vibe just right. But Timothée Chalamet seems to have nailed it. In the teaser, he performs A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall impressively, and fans are loving his singing.

The film, A Complete Unknown, will explore Dylan’s early days as a young musician who quickly became famous worldwide within just three years. The Call Me by Your Name actor will both act and sing Dylan’s songs in the movie. This is similar to his Dune Part 2 co-star Austin Butler, who was praised for playing Elvis Presley.

It was great to form that relationship, with Timmy, he’s worked so hard for this part. He’s singing everything live, like he’s really going for it.

To prepare for his role, the 28-year-old went all out. In January, he traveled to northern Minnesota to experience Bob Dylan’s life firsthand.

Chalamet even enjoyed a black coffee and sandwich at a Duluth coffee shop to soak in the local culture.
