At the New York premiere of A Complete Unknown, Timothee Chalamet made quite the statement with his brand new blonde hair. The 28-year-old actor, who is playing Bob Dylan in the biopic, took method dressing to the next level with his transformation. Along with his new hair, Chalamet sported a tiny mustache and donned an oversized scarf and beanie, all while remaining stoic and withdrawn as cameras flashed. It was clear that he was channeling Dylan's famously cool demeanor.
Fans were both surprised and intrigued by Chalamet's new look, which was almost an exact replica of an outfit Dylan himself wore to a 2003 Sundance Film Festival screening of his film Masked and Anonymous. The actor has been fully immersed in his role, practicing method acting and staying in character throughout the entire process. He even made an appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of the film just days before, further showcasing his dedication to the role.
Chalamet's commitment to the character goes beyond just his appearance. His name even appeared as "Bob Dylan" on the film's call sheets, showing just how deeply he has immersed himself into the role. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he admitted that his preparation for the film was pretty extreme. He isolated himself entirely for three months, with "no visitors, no friends, no reps, no nothing." While it may sound pretentious, Chalamet explained that he was fueled by panic and didn't want to lose a moment of discovery as the character.
Edward Norton, who plays folk music icon Pete Seeger in the film, defended Chalamet's approach in the magazine, saying that they needed to believe in the story without any distractions. Actress Monica Barbaro, who portrays Dylan's real-life romantic partner Joan Baez, noted that while Chalamet's method acting didn't create a tense atmosphere, it did require some adjustments. However, she clarified that it wasn't as intense as "Don't look him in the eye" or anything like that.
Chalamet's commitment and dedication to the role paid off in the end. "I had three months of my life to play Bob Dylan, after five years of preparing to play him," he said. "God forbid I missed a step because I was being Timmy. I could be Timmy for the rest of my life!" It's clear that Chalamet was fully committed to portraying the iconic musician on screen, and he believed it was worth every moment.
