As a fan who has closely followed Timothée Chalamet‘s career and his journey to stardom, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of admiration for this young artist. His ability to turn adversity into opportunity is truly remarkable. When an agent told him to gain weight, little did he know that it would lead Chalamet to the unique roles he’s now known for.
Previously, Timothée Chalamet was advised by his agent to put on some extra weight. This memory surfaced recently for him, and it proved beneficial as he prepared to portray Bob Dylan in the upcoming film “A Complete Unknown,” directed by James Mangold. Although this advice seemed odd at first, it eventually aided him in his role preparation.
In a recent interview, Chalamet shared that if he had tried out for films like “The Maze Runner” or “Divergent”, which were popular during his rise, the response was often, “You don’t fit the physical mold we’re looking for.” His agent advised him to gain weight, although it wasn’t a pushy suggestion.
Despite not being the star of any dystopian teen dramas that dominated the 2010s, Timothée Chalamet’s career has thrived just the same. Now, as I gear up for the release of “A Complete Unknown” next month, I find myself drawing parallels with Dylan’s journey.
Chalamet stated, “I’ve had life experiences that somewhat mirror Bob Dylan’s, though they may not seem entirely unusual. I can identify with certain aspects of his journey. Bob Dylan aspired to become a rock ‘n’ roll star, emulating artists like Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley. These musicians were popular in the late 1950s, often referred to as the ‘rice crispy pop,’ or the commercialized version of rock & roll music marketed towards children at the time. Similarly, my ambition has been to achieve success as a big-screen actor.
Similar to the renowned folk singer Chalamet, he discovered that his career had to be built around what resonated deeply with him personally. “I became involved with movies that were highly personal,” the actor of Dune explained. “For Dylan, it was folk music; he struggled with keeping a rock ‘n’ roll band because they were often hired by wealthier kids in Minnesota. So for me, it was about finding films with a deeply personal style – such as Call Me By Your Name, Beautiful Boy, Lady Bird, Little Women, Miss Stevens, Hot Summer Nights. These were lower-budget movies that had an intimate quality, which provided the stage where I found my groove, my self-assurance, and ultimately, my creative flow.
In another part of the interview, Chalamet mentioned that he had worked with a harmonica coach for five years prior to the movie. Later on, he followed in Bob Dylan’s footsteps, traveling through Chicago and Madison, Wisconsin, as well as Minnesota, where Dylan originated from.
Despite the rigorous preparation, Chalamet noted that the film isn’t an exact portrayal of the musician’s life. Instead, he described it as an interpretation, stating, “It’s not set in stone. It’s not the truth. It’s not the facts. It’s a tale, a fable.
A Complete Unknown releases in theaters on Christmas Day.
