Timothee Chalamet surprised viewers of Saturday Night Live over the weekend by performing no less than three Bob Dylan numbers on the song. But rather than songs from the A Complete Unknown film, the actor chose three deep cuts, one of which only the committed Dylan fans out there would recognise.
Chalamet signalled that he was going to avoid the obvious choices in his opening monologue as host for the night: “You might not know the Bob Dylan songs I’m performing, but they’re my personal favourites,” he told viewers. “I’m so grateful Saturday Night Live is still doing weird stuff like this 50 years in. They’re either really nice for letting me do this or incredibly mean and this is all a big prank.”
