Timothée Chalamet was spotted in New York City embodying a young Bob Dylan for the upcoming musical drama, “A Complete Unknown,” about the famed songwriter.
The film’s production, which commenced just over a week ago, generated significant buzz as it turns the clock back to the 1960s and portrays Bob’s early life. Timothée, known for his versatile acting skills and ability to dive deep into his roles, was seen fully engrossed in his character of the world-renowned musician on the bustling streets of New York on Sunday.

Before the cameras started rolling, the Dune actor mingled behind the scenes, effortlessly blending into the environment that once nurtured Dylan’s early musical career.
Clad in a wardrobe that mirrored Dylan’s signature Beatnik style, Timothée donned a brown suede jacket, a hallmark of Bob’s attire, paired with a button-down shirt and blue jeans. The look encapsulated the music legend’s aesthetic during his formative years in New York City.

Timothée was also spotted shooting into the night for the James Mangold-directed movie.
“It’s not really a Bob Dylan biopic,” James said about the film in the podcast “Happy Sad Confused” last year.

“It’s a kind of ensemble piece about this moment in time in the early ’60s in New York, and this 17-year-old kid with $16 in his pocket who hitchhikes his way to New York to meet Woody Guthrie, who is being kept in the hospital and is dying of a nerve disease, and sings Woody a song that he wrote for him and befriends Pete Seeger, who is like a son to Woody, and Pete sets him up with gigs in local clubs. And there you meet Joan Baez and all these other people who are part of this world,” he added.
Singer Bob Dylan has been involved in the making of the movie, the director, James Mangold, said

The director also noted how Bob has also been involved in the making of the film.
“I’ve spent several wonderfully charming days in his company just one-on-one talking to him, yes. And I have a script that’s personally annotated by him and treasured by me,” James said.
