**NEW YORK, NY** – Bob Dylan has surprised fans and his biographer alike by publicly endorsing the upcoming biopic “A Complete Unknown,” starring Timothée Chalamet. In a tweet, Dylan praised Chalamet’s acting abilities and expressed his approval of the film, which is based on Elijah Wald’s 2015 book, “Dylan Goes Electric.”
The film focuses on the events leading up to Dylan’s controversial electric performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Dylan’s endorsement came as a complete shock to Wald, who had assumed the reclusive musician hadn’t read his book. “I had been told that he doesn’t read Dylan books,” Wald told Vulture. “I wasn’t expecting this. It’s the biggest compliment one can ask for.”
While Dylan’s tweet suggests he hasn’t yet seen the film, his endorsement of both the book and Chalamet’s portrayal hints at a level of involvement previously unknown to the public. Wald speculated that Dylan’s surprise endorsement aligns with the musician’s unpredictable nature, referencing his surprisingly candid autobiography, “Chronicles.” “Dylan is surprising,” Wald noted. “His old line about containing multitudes? Yeah, that’s him all right.”
The unexpected endorsement has generated significant buzz surrounding “A Complete Unknown,” further fueling anticipation for the film’s release.
