Timothée Chalamet made a strong start playing Bob Dylan in the film’s folk scene of “A Complete Unknown,” and it seems he’s poised for another impressive performance.

Timothée Chalamet left fans amazed as he morphed into the rebellious figure and former American folk legend Bob Dylan. A significant portion of the acclaim he received wasn’t solely due to his physical transformation, but rather his talent in emulating Dylan’s distinctive vocal rhythm.

The movie was released towards the end of 2024, but there have already been announcements about its sequel. Interestingly, he will reprise his role as Dylan in an unexpected fashion.

Live from New York, it’s Chalamet as Bob Dylan!

On January 25, 2025, the popular variety show Saturday Night Live revealed that Timothée Chalamet would be both the host and the musical performer for its comeback in the year 2025.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve been lucky enough to witness Timothée Chalamet grace the SNL stage not just twice, but thrice! He was there in December 2020 and November 2023, with an exciting cameo in April 2021. But this time around, he’s making a whole new kind of impact as the show’s musical guest for the very first time!

In the movie, Timothée Chalamet personally sang unique versions of all the Bob Dylan songs he covered, with additional musical instruments like harmonica and guitar. On SNL, it’s anticipated that he will portray Bob Dylan in a performance (as reported by Deadline). The specific songs from Bob Dylan’s catalog that will be featured have not yet been disclosed.

On a single occasion, only 41 individuals have served as both the host and musical performer, with the most recent non-professional musician being Deion Sanders on February 18, 1995. Notable examples of this multitasking include Lily Tomlin, Desi Arnaz, and Gary Busey, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

On a single instance, Bob Dylan graced Saturday Night Live during its October 20, 1979 episode (with Eric Idle hosting). He played three tunes: Gotta Serve Somebody, I Believe In You, and When You Gonna Wake Up? Whether the enigmatic figure will show up again is uncertain. It’s possible, but as fans of A Complete Unknown know well, Dylan follows his own whims.
