Timothee Chalamet has unveiled his portrayal of Bob Dylan’s music in the upcoming biopic A Complete Unknown. On Thursday, December 5, the Dune star shared two covers: Dylan’s 1965 classic Like a Rolling Stone and the 1963 Girl From the North Country ballad. The latter features Monica Barbaro, 34, who plays Joan Baez in the film.
The 28-year-old’s interpretation of Like a Rolling Stone is shorter than the original but powerfully captures Dylan’s raw and gritty sound. Meanwhile, his duet with Barbaro in Girl From the North Country offers a stunning and heartfelt rendition, highlighting their strong musical and emotional connection. Although both tracks were released in trailers, Chalamet first unveiled their full versions.

Timothee Chalamet Opened Up On How He Prepared for the Role
Timothee shared how he prepared to embody Dylan in a recent Rolling Stone cover story, dedicating time to sessions with a vocal coach, a dialect coach, a guitar teacher, and a movement coach.
“You can’t re-create it in the studio,” he told the publication. “If I was singing to a prerecorded guitar, then all of a sudden I could hear the lack of an arm movement in my voice.” A Complete Unknown is scheduled to release on December 25th.
