Timothée Chalamet Goes Blonde at the NYC Premiere of His Bob Dylan Biopic

Timothée Chalamet takes Method dressing to the next level.

The actor, 28, recreated Bob Dylan‘s view from the 2003 Sundance Film Festival event at the premiere of Complete Anonymous in New York City on Friday, December 13.

Chalamet plays a younger version of Dylan, 83, in the biopic of the legendary musician. She showed up to the SVA Theater wearing sandy blonde hair with bangs – probably a wig – which specifically nodded to Dylan’s hairstyle in the Sundance photo shoot for the play Hidden and Anonymouswhere the rock icon starred.

Like Dylan at the time, Chalamet wore a black leather jacket over a red-and-blue plaid shirt – with a black and gray scarf adorning it as well as a blue hat that covered those bronze locks. But while Dylan’s mustache is graying in the picture that inspired Chalamet’s sartorial tribute, the Dunes a star keeping his facial hair dark – just like his original hair colour.

Earlier this month, Dylan official press on the biopic via X, writes, “Timmy is a great actor so I’m sure he’ll be totally believable like me. Or younger me. Or another me.”

He continued: “The film is taken from Elias Wald‘s Dylan Goes Electric — a book published in 2015. It’s a great retelling of the events from the early 60s that led to the fiasco in Newport. After you’ve seen the film read the book.”

Although it was not clear whether Dylan had seen the film, his praise warmed Chalamet’s heart. In response, Chalamet said“ Trucked over. I am so grateful. Thanks Bob.”

He also posted a photo of Dylan’s tweet via his Instagram Story on Thursday, December 5. “Scream cry laugh scream laugh pooping scream cry,” he wrote alongside the snap. “THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!! COME A DREAM!!!!”

Dylan is not directly involved in the project, although he is a director James Mangold say Rolling Stone last month he sat down with the singer-songwriter several times before filming began.

“Bob would have these unique lines that were so great,” Chalamet told the outlet in a joint interview with Mangold, 60. “Jim has Bob’s script annotated somewhere. I will beg him to get my hands on him. He will never give it to me.”

Mangold noted that he “felt like Bob wanted to know what I was doing,” adding, “’Who is this guy? Is it like -pen? Does he get it?’ – I think the usual questions that anyone asks when they throw themselves into an alliance with someone. “
