Hollywood star Timothee Chalamet, who is currently basking in the success of ‘Dune: Part Two’, was spotted on the set of James Mangold’s upcoming biopic on Bob Dylan.
🎀As the actor starts with his journey to step into the shoes of the ‘Blowing in the Wind’ singer, he looks like a spitting image of the singer, reports ‘People’ magazine.
♉In photos obtained by ‘People’, Chalamet can be seen dressed in a 1960s outfit while holding a worn guitar case in his hand, as he walked the city streets dressed in jeans, a green jacket, an orange scarf, a paperboy hat and had a large yellow backpack on his back.
ඣBeside him, a retro-looking car drove by, setting the scene for the biopic, which will reportedly centre around Dylan's controversial transition to the electric guitar in the 1960s and his road to becoming a folk music legend, as per Deadline. Not much is known about the biopic, though Mangold previously confirmed that Chalamet will be singing in character as Dylan in the film -- his latest musical feat following Wonka.
"It's such an amazing time in American culture, and the story of Bob's -- a young, 19-year-old Bob Dylan ౠcoming to New York with two dollars in his pocket and becoming a worldwide sensation within three years," Mangold, 60, told Collider last year. He further mentioned, quoted by ‘People’, “First being embraced into a family of folk music in New York and of course kind of outrunning him at a certain point as his star rises so beyond belief.”
🌼The biopic will also include some other notable figures from the era, including Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez and Pete Seeger, who all "have a role to play in this movie", Mangold told the outlet.
🎃"It's such an interesting true story and about such an interesting moment in the American scene," he added.
