How Timothée Chalamet transformed into Bob Dylan

Timothée Chalamet has been working for six years to play Bob Dylan in " A Complete Unknown " He has visited Dylan 's childhood home, learned how to play guitar and immersed himself in early 60s New York .

The film is loosely based on Elijah Wald’s 2015 book, “ Dylan Goes Electric! Newport , Seeger , Dylan , and the Night That Split the Sixties .

It's really, really rare to find the people that are deep thinkers and lyricists and artists that as much forward-facing entertainers. So when these artists pop up, like Bob Dylan , or Frank Ocean , we all have a responsibility to champion these artists. With an artist of such reverence, it’s important as an actor not to simply revere him, but to everyone else in the room, they won't get it.

The unspoken metaphor I was feeling was: The world goes on. The times they are a’changing and things have changed. I also have this personal affinity for these artists that come from the Midwest of the United States . Beyond that, people will make of it what they will, which is totally fair. Do with it what you want..
