Chalamet's dedication to portraying Bob Dylan shines through in his live singing scenes for the upcoming biopic 'A Complete Unknown'. Director of Photography Phedon Papamichael shares his awe at Chalamet's transformation and talent.

Timothée Chalamet's singing scenes in A Complete Unknown are explained by a key creative. Chalamet plays singer-songwriter legend Bob Dylan in the upcoming biopic directed by James Mangold. The film chronicles Dylan's life as he goes from an unknown artist to an infamous performer in New York. In addition to Chalamet, A Complete Unknown features a leading cast including Edward Norton, Monica Barbaro, Scoot McNairy, Elle Fanning, and Boyd Holbrook.

But Timothée, in front of our eyes, he transformed into this person and he kept saying, let me do it live. Let me do live. Can I do a live one? Let me do it, and we were like, yeah, sure, go for it. And we were in awe every time, every take. Of course, it adds something in addition to lip syncing back even to your own prerecorded . There's a lot of these songs. They're not like perfectly timed.
