Timothée Chalamet Transforms Into Bob Dylan For Legendary Singer’s Biopic [Look]

Fans were excited when it was announced that Timothée Chalamet would play the legendary singer Bob Dylan in a biopic, and more recently, supporters were given a treat as the actor finally embodied the musician as he completely transformed into his younger version.

According to People Magazine, the "Wonka" actor will portray the iconic singer in the movie A Complete Unknown, a movie which will revolve around his life.

The actor was photographed around the Chelsea neighborhood in New York City. He donned a brown suede jacket, black shirt, and a pair of brown pants. The look was completed with a pair of brown boots and sunglasses as he walks outside El Quijote Restaurant.

The area where he was photographed was completely transformed to bring back audiences into the 60s and 70s era as old cars were parked outside the venue for the particular scene that he filmed.

This wasn't the first time Chalamet was seen as he was also photographed a week prior, wearing a completely different outfit, which seemingly portrayed Dylan's look back in the 60s.

As of this writing, more details surrounding the film have yet to be publicized, but one thing's for sure, Chalamet is completely dedicated to portray Bob Dylan as best as he could; from his previous outfits, as well as recording music.

Director James Mangold previously revealed that Chalamet will use his own vocals to sing Dylan's biggest hits.

The movie will revolve around the legendary singer's life when he was only 19 years old, coming to New York City with only two dollars.

Within the span of three years, the musician was able to turn his life upside down and become a world-renowned singer. (via Collider)
