Timothée Chalamet is channeling your inner self Bob Dylan in the biopic “A Complete Unknown” — and yes, that’s him singing in the first teaser trailer!
It’s TC like you’ve never seen him before—guitar in hand, singing the icon’s 1963 folk hit “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall”… while portraying young Bob on his rise to stardom in 1960s New York City.

While BD will always be the OG, Timothée definitely puts his best foot forward — after all, he was all in on this rockstar gig… even taking special guitar and singing lessons to perfect that unique Dylan sound.
While Timothée is no stranger to singing (he showcased his voice in “Wonka”), embodying a 10-time Grammy winner as Bob is something entirely new, so it will be interesting to see how Timothée fares throughout the film.
Also, director James Mangold isn’t holding back on authenticity – he even filmed scenes at El Quijote, the restaurant inside the Chelsea Hotel where Bob found his inspiration… and the paparazzi captured plenty of CT photos in the icon’s signature New York attire.
So, get ready for a front-row seat to music history.
It’s worth noting that the film hits theaters in December… which means the studio behind it has the Oscars in mind.
