“Lorne Michaels said, ‘Hey, do you want to host SNL?’ I said, ‘Yeah, can I do the music?’ He’s like, ‘No.’ I said, ‘Alright, I’m not doing it'": Timothée Chalamet says that he had to self-fund his Bob Dylan musical performances on Saturday Night Live

When Timothée Chalamet performed three Bob Dylan songs on Saturday Night Live last year - this was during his promotional tour for A Complete Unknown, the movie in which he played Dylan - the assumption was that the show had secured itself a bit of a coup.

However, the actor has now revealed that this isn’t quite true. In fact, Chalamet had to put his hand in his pocket in order to make it happen.
