Timothée Chalamet changed into music great Bob Dylan while filming his biopic in New Jersey, where he assisted co-star Elle Fanning in celebrating her 26th birthday on set.
The Dune star, 28, will play the 82-year-old Blown In The Wind hitmaker in the upcoming biopic A Complete Unknown.
Timothée has been seen filming as Bob in a number of locales in recent weeks, including Paterson, New Jersey, on Tuesday.
He went into character wearing baggy blue trousers, a brown corduroy jacket, a red striped shirt, and leather cowboy boots.
The Oscar nominee’s dark hair was fashioned to resemble Bob’s distinctive shaggy locks when he was seen filming a scenario with him getting into a car surrounded by screaming fans.

Elle wore a wig over her newly cut blonde bob to more accurately reflect the ‘fair-skinned and golden-haired, full-blood Italian’ who ‘was the most sexual thing’ Bob had ever seen.
Timothée, who was devoted to his guitar case, was wearing a light brown jacket over a blue-plaid shirt, retro blue jeans, and brown boots.
His attire matched Dylan’s appearance on the cover of his seminal 1963 album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, in which he walked arm-in-arm with Suze.
Director James Mangold joined the talented duo on set, saying ‘of course’ Timothée will handle all of his own singing in the film, which begins filming on March 16.
‘It’s such an amazing time in American culture and the story of Bob’s — a young 19-year-old Bob Dylan coming to New York with like two dollars in his pocket and becoming a worldwide sensation within three years,’ the 60-year-old filmmaker told Collider a year ago.
‘First being embraced into the family of folk music in New York and of course kind of outrunning him at a certain point his star rises beyond belief.
‘It’s such an interesting true story and about such an interesting moment in the American scene. Different characters from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan to Pete Seeger to Joan Baez — they all have a role to play in this movie.’
