Timothée Chalamet brings nuance to his character!

Director James Mangold talks about Timothée Chalamet’s portrayal of Bob Dylan
In an interview with Rolling Stone, James Mangold discussed Chalamet’s performance. “I think he does in a very poetic way, which is to suggest really empathically through his performance how one might want to make music, but one might not want to have people in your face all the time,” he said.
Revealing that he sometimes addresses the actor as Bob, Mangold continued to praise him for vividly delivering the joy the singer must have felt interacting with his community and making music.
“I think he does an incredible job of growing the character up,” he added. According to him, ‘Timmy’ really showcased Dylan’s journey from being a 19-year-old boy telling tales of working on the carnival to a singing sensation.
“Timmy finds the path to carry us there…the way he grows this character is a real act of acting brilliance in my opinion,” the directed added.
