Watch: Timothée Chalamet talk 'A Complete Unknown' with Zane Lowe.
Timothée Chalamet sat down with Apple Music's Zane Lowe recently to discuss everything about his upcoming film 'A Complete Unknown'. The conversation took place in Manhattan Theatre Club where Chalamet first got his start.
On his approach to portraying Bob Dylan, Chalamet shares: "Somebody once said to me, "You can't make a movie about a painter because it's not interesting to watch paint dry." Yeah, and Bob has that element because I like to say about Bob, he's not one of these forward-facing musicians. In other words, it doesn't make sense to match the choreography the exact way it was, there was no choreography the way the Jackie Onassis biopic, Natalie Portman has a sequence in that that's step-for-step exactly what Jackie did. That was sort of my aspiration, my layman's aspiration going into Bob. And at some point, the vocal coach I was working with or the dialect or movement, all this stuff that I saw my good friend Austin Butler crush it with on "Elvis," and I thought, okay, I'll... And at some point, I was like, wait, I got to do none of this because this is not my style. And B, Bob did not have a vocal coach. He had two bottles of red wine and four packs of cigarettes, so there's no way to impersonate that."
