Timothée Chalamet has taken on some wild roles over the previous few years, from a younger boy exploring his sexuality in Name Me by Your Identify to famous March-sister homie hopper Laurie in Greta Gerwig’s Little Girls, to…a large sandworm or somebody who fights a large sandworm or one thing in Dune. (I’m sorry, I’ve by no means seen both of these motion pictures.) However now he’s gearing up for one in all his largest performing challenges but: portraying none apart from Bob Dylan within the upcoming biopic A Full Unknown.
Like just about all the things Chalamet does, the first pictures of him in character as Dylan sparked rapid discourse. Listed here are the (arguably too many) ideas I had about our earliest glimpse at Timmy as Bob.
- To begin with, why is that this film referred to as A Full Unknown when there are such a lot of higher Dylan lyrics? (Personally, I’ve all the time been a fan of “Your sons and your daughters are past your command,” however possibly that’s a bit of wordy.)
- Social media has had a whole lot of enjoyable goofing on the assorted folks Chalamet resembles on this picture, from an aughts Keira Knightley on the airport to Phoebe Buffay from Pals (okay, I posted that final one), however I’m out of the blue struck by how a lot he appears to be like like…Timothée Chalamet in a Bob Dylan costume.
- Carry again Cate Blanchett as Bob!
- The headscarf. Let’s speak concerning the scarf. Is it…angora? Is it carpet? Is it weird-overstuffed-pillow-in-a-Seattle-coffeehouse materials?
- I’d should see extra of the denims to make certain, however they’re wanting a bit of saggy within the thigh for an artist who looked so famously good in tight pants.
- Oh, newsboy cap, how I miss you and likewise dread your continued existence.
- Ought to I write a prolonged cultural historical past of the newsboy cap?
- It must embody an prolonged ode to Marissa Cooper (RIP) from The O.C., in fact.
- I do assume Chalamet has the proper delicate but masculine facial structure to painting Dylan, not that anybody requested me (rudely).
- Can he sing?
- Oh yeah, I suppose he was simply in Wonka, singing fairly a bit.
- How does one put together vocally to impersonate Bob Dylan? A gentle food plan of cigs? Gargling with marbles?
- In the end, it doesn’t matter whether or not this film is a flop, a slay, or some nebulous third factor; to paraphrase Chalamet himself in Little Girls, I’ll watch.
