Timothée Chalamet and the cast of A Complete Unknown recently talked to Rolling Stone about the making of the Bob Dylan film, and Chalamet shared some insight into his commitment to what he calls a “role of a lifetime.”
“It was something I would go to sleep panicked about, losing a moment of discovery as the character — no matter how pretentious that sounds — because I was on my phone or because of any distraction,” he says. “I had three months of my life to play Bob Dylan, after five years of preparing to play him. So while I was in it, that was my eternal focus.”
He adds, “He deserved that and then more … God forbid I missed a step because I was being Timmy. I could be Timmy for the rest of my life!”
Chalamet was listed as “Bob Dylan” on the film’s call sheet, and it fooled co-star Elle Fanning, who got an invite to a preproduction meeting with director James Mangold and “Bob,” thinking she was meeting the rock icon.
“I’m probably the first person in life to be let down by having a rehearsal with Timothée Chalamet, right?” she tells Rolling Stone. “Like, the first girl in history.”
Monica Barbaro, who plays Joan Baez, said Chalamet “wasn’t so full-on” with his method acting, but she noted he was “in his own world” on set, “in a way that I think Bob often was as well.”
And Ed Norton, who plays Pete Seeger, described Chalamet’s commitment as “relentless.”
“No visitors, no friends, no reps, no nothing,” he said. “And I agreed totally — it was like, we cannot have a f****** audience for this. We’ve got to believe to the greatest degree we can. And he was right to be that protective.”
Zendaya is an Emmy-winning actress and a household name. She also was runner-up on season 16 of Dancing with the Stars.
The actress came in second place on the dancing competition show back in 2013, over a decade ago. In a recent W magazine cover story, her interviewer said she should have won the program. Zendaya seemed to agree.
“Listen, I’m still harboring a little animosity about that,” Zendaya said.
She competed on season 16 of the show with partner Val Chmerkovskiy when she was just 16 years old, saying it was tough to lose the competition at such a young age.
“I felt that loss. I was only 16 years old, and it was highly stressful,” Zendaya said. “Being on live television every week? It’s so scary.”
The actress also said she wished she’d embraced a more fun approach to the show.
“I took it very seriously, which, in retrospect, I wish I didn’t. I wish I’d enjoyed it a little bit more and just was like, ‘Eh, whatever.’ You know what I mean?” Zendaya said. “But I was stressing myself out. I really went through it on that.”
Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes and more are saying goodbye to Yellowstone.
Several cast members took to social media to mark the end of the series — co-created, written and often directed by Taylor Sheridan — as it aired its final episode on Sunday, Dec. 15.
Reilly, who played Beth Dutton, shared a post on Instagram, writing in the caption, “Whatever the future holds this is the ending of the show we have been making for the past 7 years. Words cannot convey how I feel about the people I got to work and create with over the seasons. I have made true life long friends.”
“The support from the crew and the trust and dedication of the cast. The words I got to say and the woman I got to inhabit. It changed me. It lit me up. It challenged me in every way possible and I will forever be grateful for it,” she added.
Reilly ended with a message to the show’s fans, writing, “Thank you the audience we made it for, for being on this journey with us. We really cared about making something special for you all.”
Grimes kept his message short and sweet as he bid farewell to his character, Kayce Dutton, and the show.
“End of an era,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “Goodbye Kayce. You are a better man than I. To my yellowstone family, thank you for the experience of a lifetime.”
Kelsey Asbille, who played Kayce’s wife, Monica, reflected on her onscreen partnership with Grimes.
“To share the screen with Luke over these past 7 years was such a dream,” she wrote in the caption of an Instagram post.
Yellowstone aired for five seasons between 2018 and 2024, and has spawned several spinoffs and created a television universe.
