Timothée Chalamet portrays a young Bob Dylan in James Mangold's new biopic, 'A Complete Unknown'. The film premiered in UK cinemas on January 17th and marks Chalamet's dedication to the role, having spent five years training for it. This article explores Chalamet's journey from his unique upbringing in New York City to his rise to stardom and his current relationship with Kylie Jenner.
Timothée Chalamet is starring in a new Bob Dylan biopic directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker James Mangold. The film, titled A Complete Unknown , premiered in UK cinemas on January 17th and sees Chalamet portraying a 19-year-old Bob Dylan as he begins his legendary music career in New York City. Chalamet, known for his roles in Dune and other major films, has dedicated five years to training for this part, which begins shooting in Spring 2024.
As audiences prepare to see the 29-year-old actor take on the role of the iconic singer-songwriter, we delve into Chalamet's personal and professional journey so far.Born in December 1995 in the heart of New York City, Chalamet was raised by his mother, Nicole Flender, and father, Marc Chalamet, a native of France. He also has an older sister, Pauline, who is also an actress. The family lived in Manhattan Plaza, a complex known for its history of celebrity residents. On The Graham Norton Show, Chalamet was surprised to learn that actor and playwright Colman Domingo, known for his role in Rustin, had lived in the same building during Chalamet's childhood. He exclaimed, 'No way!' Chalamet entertained the audience by sharing stories about his unique upbringing, describing the building as 'super strange, it's like filled with mimes.'While growing up surrounded by the arts, it wasn't until he saw Christopher Nolan's blockbuster film The Dark Knight at age 12 that Chalamet felt the pull towards acting. 'We went to AMC Empire 25 in Times Square for a 7:30 screening. I left that theatre a changed man, and I'm serious about that. Heath Ledger's performance in that film was visceral and viral to me, and I now had the acting bug,' he shared during his New York Film Critics Circle Awards speech in 2018. Chalamet attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and graduated in 2013. His acting career took off soon after. Chalamet received critical acclaim for his breakthrough role in Luca Guadagnino's 2017 film Call Me By Your Name. Based on André Aciman's novel, the film propelled him to stardom. He played Elio Perlman, a 17-year-old boy deeply affected by his summer romance with Oliver (played by Armie Hammer), an academic intern staying at his parents' home. His performance earned him his first and only Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.Following the success of Guadagnino's film, Chalamet's career continued to soar. In 2017, he starred in Greta Gerwig's semi-autobiographical comedy Lady Bird alongside Saoirse Ronan. The following year, he acted alongside Steve Carell in Beautiful Boy, portraying real-life father and son David and Nic Sheff. In 2019, he appeared in Netflix's Shakespearean adaptation, The King, with Robert Pattinson and Lily-Rose Depp. Other notable films include Gerwig's Little Women, Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch, and Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part One and Part Two. According to IMDB, his next film, Marty Supreme, has already wrapped up production and is due to premiere this year.Chalamet is currently dating fellow A-lister Kylie Jenner. Their relationship, which reportedly began in 2023, has remained relatively private despite their high-profile statuses. Speculation about their romance started in April 2023, with various sources reporting sightings of the couple on clandestine dates. The Daily Mail reported one early date where Chalamet was spotted getting into Jenner's car before stopping at a taco stand where their security teams placed orders for them. Since then, the pair have publicly supported each other at industry events, including the recent Golden Globe Awards, where Chalamet was nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor. Neither Chalamet nor Jenner has openly discussed their relationship. Prior to his involvement with the Kardashian sister, Chalamet has been linked to actresses Lily-Rose Depp, Eiza Gonzalez, and Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon, whom he met during their high school years
