A remarkable arrival. Timothée Chalamet caused a sensation in London this Tuesday January 14 during the premiere ofA complete strangera Bob Dylan biopic directed by James Mangold, in which he plays the title role.
After a short stroll through the streets of London, the Franco-American actor arrived at this event on an electric bike. Once on the red carpet, he then got out of his car to pose in front of the photographers.
But according to W magazine, Timothée Chalamet’s gesture is not insignificant. It would actually be a rather surprising nod to Bob Dylan, who, in 1965, made an impression during a concert at the Newport festival by “going electric”.
The artist, who until then had performed with an acoustic guitar, surprised the public by opting for an electric guitar for the first time during his concert. This performance, depicted in the film A complete strangerhad provoked much criticism from folk audiences at the time.
-Expected on January 29 in France
Scheduled for January 29 in French theaters, A complete stranger traces the youth of Bob Dylan and recounts the arrival of the famous 83-year-old musician in New York and his rise from folk singer to rock icon.
In addition to Timothée Chalamet, actress Monica Barbaro, seen in Top Gun: Maverickwill play Joan Baez, Edward Norton will be musician Pete Seeger and Boyd Holbrook (Narcos) will play Johnny Cash. Elle Fanning will play the role of Suze Rotolo, an artist who had a major influence on Bob Dylan at the time.
