A Complete Unknown Frequently Asked Questions
Is Timothée Chalamet Really Singing And Playing Guitar in A Complete Unknown?
Yes, that’s Timothée Chalamet singing and playing guitar in A Complete Unknown. He performed all of Dylan’s songs live on camera. Although he initially pre-recorded the vocals, Chalamet ultimately chose to sing live in character for the film, Mangold told Variety.
“Some of the sound and music direction people were like, ‘It’s not a good idea,’” the director said. “And he was phenomenal. Not only that, he proved the brilliance of the method.”
Chalamet even recreated Dylan’s iconic 1965 Newport Folk Festival performance in full, where the folk artist sparked controversy by swapping his acoustic guitar for an electric one. “That was recorded as a full concert; from the Hammer song to ‘Baby Blue,’ it was one run,” Ted Caplan, the movie’s supervising music editor, told Today.com. “I think it gave it a special live real magic.”
