Elle Fanning was initially sceptical about her longtime colleague taking part in Bob Dylan
Elle Fanning was left a modified lady when she noticed Timothée Chalamet rework into Bob Dylan for his or her upcoming biopic, A Full Unknown.
Talking at The Wrap’s 2024 WrapWomen Energy Ladies Summit in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, December 3, the 26-year-old actress shared how Chalamet’s rendition of Dylan’s iconic A Arduous Rain’s a-Gonna Fall left her “tearing up.”
“Timothée’s so extraordinary in the movie,” she stated, recalling how he delivered a full concert-like efficiency as Dylan on her first day on set.
Giving a nod to their historical past working collectively, Fanning stated of Chalamet, “Seeing him accomplish this character in such a beautiful way [was moving].”
Fanning, a lifelong Dylan fan, admitted she was initially sceptical of how her good friend would method the position. “I was a harsh critic. I was like, ‘What is Timmy gonna do?’ And he just blew me away,” she added.
Fanning performs Sylvie Russo, impressed by Suze Rotolo, Dylan’s girlfriend and muse within the early ’60s.
Directed by James Mangold, A Full Unknown chronicles Dylan’s rise as a revolutionary people icon. The movie, starring Monica Barbaro, Edward Norton, and Boyd Holbrook, hits theatres on December 25.
Chalamet, who lately acquired the Gotham Visionary Tribute honor for the position, described immersing himself in Dylan’s world as “the greatest education a young artist could receive.”
