Actor Timothée Chalamet sings and plays all of Bob Dylan's songs live on camera in the upcoming biopic 'A Complete Unknown'. Director James Mangold praised Chalamet's performance, calling it 'phenomenal' and a testament to the method acting technique.
The 29-year-old actor practically channels the music legend as a burgeoning star in the early 1960s, transforming his shaggy locks to resemble Dylan's hairstyle and adopting Dylan's signature nasally speaking and singing style.
“We shot that in the first five or six days,” Mangold recalled. “And there was a whole backstage thing with Timmy saying, ‘I want to try it live.’” “There’s this moment where he finishes that song and he holds a note and just keeps hitting the low string on the guitar over and over again, and he’s just his eyes are kind of boring into Woody, and he’s just holding this note, and it gave him chills," Mangold recalled.
Tod Maitland, the movie's sound mixer, told Variety that the biggest musical challenge for Chalamet was varying his vocal stylings to match Dylan's during specific performances.
