Timothée Chalamet mastered playing the guitar and singing in a way reminiscent of Bob Dylan for “A Complete Unknown.” Additionally, he put on about 20 extra pounds to better resemble the folk music icon, as he shared during an interview with NPR.
I thoroughly investigated every possible angle and carried out all the tasks as you detailed, both physically and behaviorally,” Chalamet shared with Ailsa Chang on ‘All Things Considered’. “A lesser-discussed aspect is that I also gained around 20 pounds because surprisingly, I was lighter than the character.
Timothée Chalamet has been nominated for Best Actor due to his portrayal in James Mangold’s movie, which recounts Dylan’s move to New York City at the age of 19 in 1961 and culminates at his pivotal “going electric” moment during the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
Or, more concisely:
Timothée Chalamet’s performance in James Mangold’s film has earned him a Best Actor nomination, telling the story of Bob Dylan’s move to NYC at 19, leading up to his transformative electric moment at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
In a November conversation with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the 29-year-old actor had shared insights on his physical build.
Chalamet mentioned that when he tried out for roles like ‘The Maze Runner’ or ‘Divergent,’ the common response was that his physique wasn’t suitable. He recalled an agent advising him to gain weight, though not in a forceful manner.
As a film enthusiast, I might rephrase it like this: “Since I don’t fit the traditional mold of an action star, I carved out a niche for myself in deeply personal films. Instead of sculpting my body to break into big-budget productions, I chose to delve into character-driven projects such as ‘Call Me by Your Name,’ ‘Beautiful Boy,’ ‘Lady Bird,’ and ‘Little Women.’
These films had lower budgets but they were incredibly warm and inviting, as if they knew each audience member personally,” Chalamet explained. “It was in this very theater where I discovered my groove, my self-assurance, my natural pace, whatever you might call it.
Undeniably, Timothée Chalamet’s star power would have soared regardless, landing the coveted role in “Wonka” and the “Dune” series. In a remarkable feat, both “Wonka” and “Dune: Part Two,” released within an eight-month span, each raked in over $200 million at the domestic box office, shattering a record set by John Travolta’s hits “Saturday Night Fever” and “Grease” more than four decades ago. As a movie enthusiast, it’s truly captivating to witness such extraordinary success!
Next up, he will appear in Josh Safdie’s ping pong adventure movie “Marty Supreme,” from A24.
