13 Thoughts I Had About the First Pictures of Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan
Timothée Chalamet has taken on some wild roles over the past few years, from a young boy exploring his sexuality in Call Me by Your Name to noted March-sister homie hopper Laurie in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, to…a giant sandworm or someone who fights a giant sandworm or something in Dune. But now he’s gearing up for one of his biggest acting challenges yet: portraying none other than Bob Dylan in the upcoming biopic A Complete Unknown.
My Initial Thoughts:
- First of all, why is this movie called A Complete Unknown when there are so many better Dylan lyrics?
- Social media has had a lot of fun goofing on the various people Chalamet resembles in this photo, but I’m suddenly struck by how much he looks like…Timothée Chalamet in a Bob Dylan costume.
- Bring back Cate Blanchett as Bob!
- Let’s talk about the scarf. Is it…angora? Is it carpet? Is it weird-overstuffed-pillow-in-a-Seattle-coffeehouse material?
- The jeans are looking a little baggy in the thigh for an artist who looked so famously good in tight pants.
- Oh, newsboy cap, how I miss you and also dread your continued existence.
- Should I write a lengthy cultural history of the newsboy cap?
- An extended ode to Marissa Cooper (RIP) from The O.C. would be a must.
- Chalamet has the right delicate yet masculine facial architecture to portray Dylan.
- Can he sing? Yes, he showcased his singing in Wonka.
- How does one prepare vocally to impersonate Bob Dylan? A steady diet of cigs? Gargling with marbles?
- Ultimately, it doesn’t matter whether this movie is a flop or a hit; to paraphrase Chalamet himself in Little Women, I’ll watch.
Timothée Chalamet has once again captivated audiences with his transformative role choices. As he steps into the shoes of Bob Dylan, fans eagerly await to see his portrayal on the big screen.
