Vernon Kay gets starstruck by Timothee Chalamet as he films the actor casually riding into the premiere of A Complete Unknown on a Lime Bike
He’s no stranger to interviewing big stars as a host on BBC Radio 2.
However, it was clear that even seasoned host Vernon Kay found it difficult to conceal his enthusiasm, as he observed the laid-back arrival of Timothee Chalamet for the debut of his Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, on a Tuesday night.
The presenter, 50, was seen filming the actor as he cruised down the red carpet on a Lime Bike.
Vernon was part of a group of notable actors who walked the red carpet for A Complete Unknown at the BFI Southbank, accompanied by Laura Whitmore and Paul Mescal’s sibling, Nell.
Timothee attended the event alone on the red carpet, as Kylie Jenner opted not to join him at home. This high-profile pairing has mostly kept their two-year relationship private.
At the UK premiere, I, Monica Barbaro, who shared the screen with Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning, ensured that the spotlight firmly focused on me.
The film centers around Dylan’s initial stage of his career, his shift from folk to rock music, and his act at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Timothée is commended for his convincing performance as Dylan in this production.
After it was disclosed that Timothée Chalamet had undergone five years of vocal training prior to portraying Bob Dylan in the forthcoming biographical film, A Complete Unknown, he began his performance.
In this production, the 28-year-old actor portraying the renowned musician, aged 83, not only acts but also performs the songs live within the play. This performance is scheduled to hit the screens in January.
On The Graham Norton Show last Friday, he confessed to having little knowledge of Bob prior, but has since developed a strong emotional connection to the significant cultural influence that Bob exudes.
Timothée mentioned that due to delays such as the postponement of the film shoot by nearly five and a half years, followed by the pandemic and an actor’s strike, he had ample time for preparation.
With growing confidence, I felt ready to sing by the time we started filming, and I eagerly desired to perform and play the songs live.
He stated: “Previously, I wasn’t very familiar with Dylan, but after spending such a prolonged period working on it, I have become deeply admiring and respectful towards Bob.
I’m extremely enthusiastic about this individual and his accomplishments, but my friends might be growing weary from my constant chatter about him.
As a die-hard admirer, there’s no denying that this individual has left an indelible mark on our cultural landscape. Among all his works, it’s his contributions to this particular film that I hold closest to my heart, and that iconic role in particular fills me with the most pride.
The actor nominated for an Oscar, who hadn’t interacted with the music legend before portraying him on screen, received critical acclaim for reviving the movie, even though it had some imperfections.
Timothée went on to say: “Bob is a secretive, enigmatic individual who rarely speaks, so I never had the opportunity to interact with him.
‘Though I’d love to, I deeply respect that it aligns with his personality for us not to cross paths.’
In the new role, Elle Fanning is cast as Sylvie Russo, formerly known as Bob’s girlfriend during that period, while Monica Barbaro takes on the part of Joan Baez.
The film focuses on the controversial shift by the musician towards using electric equipment during the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
It’s been confirmed that Timothée Chalamet, along with Edward Norton and Boyd Holbrook, will be part of the cast. Interestingly, Timothée himself will perform the singing in the upcoming movie, having previously lent his voice for the 2023 musical film “Wonka.
James Mangold, the director, has been collaborating with Bob on this project, and it’s worth noting that the lyricsmaker from Hurricane contributed some of his own thoughts to the script’s development.
