Thanks to the “Dune” films, “Little Women” or “Call Me by your name”, Timothée Chalamet is one of the shooting stars of Hollywood. However, the 29-year-old is currently causing a sensation with his role as Bob Dylan in his biopic “A Complete Unknown” (cinema release in Germany: February 27).
Among other things, Chalamet surprises in the course of the promotion for the film with his singing talent. Not only does the American-French actor Dylan play ahead of James Mangold’s camera, but also performs the songs of the singer-songwriter. He also did that when he appeared on the US cult show “Saturday Night Live”. On Saturday (January 25th) the chalamet, which has now been two for the Oscar, entered the “NBC” show as a host and also as a musical act.
During his introductory speech, the actor joked that he had not won awards so far, even though he was nominated several times, and jokingly Willy Wonka with Bob Dylan. “‘A Complete Unknown’ has just received eight Academy Award nominations. I am really overjoyed. I literally cried in my wardrobe when I just found out about it, ”he said a little more seriously when he spoke about his latest project and idol Bob Dylan. “The entire creative team worked so hard to bring the great artist Bob Dylan to life, a man whose music and career have become a guiding star for me.”
Does Timothée Chalamet also convince on stage as Bob Dylan?
Later, Chalamet started three songs from Bob Dylan’s extensive repertoire. While it was assumed that the actor intended to choose songs from the “A Complete Unknown” soundtrack for his first appearance, he soon revealed that he had other plans: “You know the bob-dylan songs that I play, Maybe not, but they are my personal favorites. “
Adam Sandler announced Chalamet. With “Outlaw Blues” he made a fast start. With his three live pieces, there was a complete band, including James Blake on the keyboard.
Directly at “Outlaw Blues”, the mood became gentle and chalamet “Three Angels” reproduced. The latter track is from the album “New Morning” from 1970 and is characterized by its gospel-inspired sound.
A little later on the show, the New York native returned to the stage for his last performance. He sang the song “Tomorrow is a long time”, a song that originally came from the 1960s, but was only published in 2010 as part of “The Bootleg Series Vol. 9”.
