Biopic are huge gambles, especially when the focus is a music heavyweight. So, when Timothée Chalamet signed onto the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, fans (and critics) had reservations.

The actor is adamant that he's interpreting Dylan in "A Complete Unknown" biopic, not providing "fact," but rather "fable."

Timothée Chalamet is playing Bob Dylan in the new biopic A Complete Unknown, set for release on Christmas day. We’ve seen a couple trailers for the film so far, and now Chalamet has given his first in-depth interview about the role to Zane Lowe at Apple Music.

Timothée Chalamet really went the extra mile to prepare for his role as Bob Dylan in the upcoming biopic A Complete Unknown, and he's opening up all about it in a new interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe.

Notably, Chalamet says he worked with harmonica coach for five years in preparing to star in the James Mangold -directed biopic, as well as a movement coach who helped him mimic Dylan's physical mannerisms.

Timothée Chalamet said that casting directors rejected him for major movies early in his career, including "The Maze Runner" and "Divergent," because he was too thin. But he said the rejection prepared him for his latest role as the music legend Bob Dylan.
