It's been a long road to A Complete Unknown for Timothée Chalamet, with the star's preparation for the role of Bob Dylan beginning five years ago.
Appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Chalamet said he began prep before the pandemic in 2019, then production was paused as many were. Between then and now, he's done two Dune films, but was still getting ready to play Dylan while playing Paul Atreides — which meant a lot of practicing guitar on the set.
In a neat moment for Chalamet fans, the star shared a video with Colbert showing him in full Atreides formal attire on the first Dune, playing "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" — "with some Dune lyrical variations by me," he said.
A Complete Unknown opens only in theaters Dec. 25.
