In Minneapolis, enthusiastic fans of actor Timothée Chalamet braved the cold for hours on Thursday night to catch him speaking about his upcoming Bob Dylan biopic, “A Complete Unknown.” The Oscar-nominated star expressed his gratitude for the warm reception he received, saying it was a special experience.

Many fans felt a strong urge to attend, with one stating, “I was about to pick up a shift at work and I was like, ‘No, I have better things to do. I have to be here.’” Another fan echoed this sentiment, saying they even skipped work for the chance to participate in this unique event.

During the advance screening at The Main Theater, Chalamet made it a point to sign every poster, showing appreciation for his dedicated supporters. His day included a visit to Dinkytown near the University of Minnesota, a significant location in Dylan’s early life before rising to global fame. Chalamet reflected on his experience, noting, “I never got to have the classic American college experience, so I’m trying to truncate it in these three days.” He acknowledged the area’s influence on Dylan’s folk music roots, emphasizing his admiration for Minnesota and its genuine people.

Chalamet expressed gratitude for the opportunity to explore Minnesota and surrounding small towns like Hibbing and Duluth, where he conducted research on Dylan’s upbringing prior to filming. He remarked, “I think he’s very proud of his Minnesota heritage… As a New Yorker, I don’t think my path really would’ve brought me out here, ever.”

The highly anticipated film, “A Complete Unknown,” is set to be released on Christmas Day, promising to be a heartfelt tribute to an iconic musician and an exploration of his roots.

This event showcases not only Chalamet’s dedication to his craft but also the strong connection between art and the places that inspire it. As fans eagerly await the film’s release, it’s a reminder of how culture can bring people together, transcending borders and backgrounds.
