Timothée Chalamet is channeling his inner Bob Dylan in the biopic “A Complete Unknown” — and yes, that’s actually him singing in the first teaser trailer!
It’s TC like you’ve never seen him before — guitar in hand, belting out the icon’s 1963 folk hit “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall” … while playing young Bob as he rises to stardom in 1960s NYC.

While BD will always be the OG, Timothée definitely gives it his best shot — after all, he was all in for this rockstar gig … even taking special guitar and vocal lessons to nail that unique Dylan sound.
While Timothée’s no stranger to singing — he showed off his pipes in “Wonka” — channeling a 10-time Grammy winner like Bob is a whole new ballgame, so it’ll be interesting to see how Timothée does throughout the movie.

Also, director James Mangold ain’t holding back on authenticity — he even filmed scenes at El Quijote, the restaurant inside the Hotel Chelsea where Bob found his inspiration … and paparazzi have captured plenty of shots of TC in the icon’s signature get-up around NYC.

So, get ready for a front-row seat to musical history.
It’s worth noting, the flick is hitting theaters in December … which means the studio behind it is thinking Oscars.
