Elle Fanning was eagerly anticipating the chance to finally meet the iconic Bob Dylan during the filming of their biopic, A Complete Unknown. As she prepared to meet her idol, she couldn't help but feel excited and nervous, picking out the perfect outfit and rehearsing what she wanted to say.
But her excitement quickly turned to confusion when she arrived to find her co-star Timothée Chalamet, fully immersed in character as Bob Dylan, waiting for her instead. She couldn't help but joke that she was probably the first person to ever be let down by a rehearsal with Timothée.
It was all part of Chalamet's intense method acting approach to the role. He had committed himself completely to becoming Bob Dylan, even going as far as having his name listed as such on the call sheets. Edward Norton, who plays folk music legend Pete Seeger in the film, praised Chalamet's dedication, saying they needed to fully believe in their characters without any distractions.
Monica Barbaro, who portrays Dylan's real-life romantic partner Joan Baez in the film, noted that while Chalamet's approach didn't create a tense atmosphere on set, it did require some adjustments. They both agreed to limit casual conversations to maintain the authenticity of their characters.
Chalamet's commitment to the role even led him to isolate himself for three months, with no visitors or distractions, to fully focus on becoming Bob Dylan. He admitted that it may sound pretentious, but he didn't want to miss a single moment of discovery as the character.
Despite the challenges, Chalamet believes it was all worth it in the end. Playing Bob Dylan was a dream come true for him, and he didn't want to waste the opportunity by not fully immersing himself in the role. He joked that he could be Timmy for the rest of his life, but he had a limited time to become Bob Dylan and he didn't want to miss a step.
As for the film itself, it promises to explore the life of the iconic folk singer in great detail. And with the talented cast fully committed to their roles, it's sure to be a must-see for fans and music lovers alike.
