Do people ever stop talking about him?
I take it you aren’t a fan.
Last December saw the Willy Wonka press tour; in January he unveiled his relationship with Kylie Jenner (at the Golden Globes); by February it was Dune: Part Two. Now we have images from the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. I feel… surrounded.
Website The Poke tends to agree with you.
How did The Poke address this latest Chala-mania outbreak?
‘They say that in London, you’re never more than six feet away from a rat… but you could be forgiven for feeling like you’re never more than six weeks away from a new Timothée Chalamet film.’
It’s the obsession with what he’s wearing that I find… wearing.
But everyone needs an opinion on that baker boy hat from the Bob Dylan film.
Tangled up in you: Chalamet immerses himself in the role of Bob Dylan
Why?
To share it on social media. Did you know that a post likening him to Keira Knightley in Love Actually got almost 127k views on X?
How penetrating.
Although there were also dissenting voices.
People who care more about Bob Dylan’s music than Chalamet’s wardrobe?
No, people who care about another post on X (960k views) that read, ‘He’s dressed like every single character in Love Actually.’
Are we done with the hat-chat?
Not quite – there’s a TikTok claim that Chalamet’s headgear is reminiscent of that worn by 1997 animated heroine Anastasia.
Surely people have better things to do…
And there are those who insist the actor’s chapeau is a dead ringer for that worn by the mouse in the 1986 cartoon An American Tail.
Have you finished now?

Comparisons were drawn with Scooter from the Muppets, too, but those were clearly ridiculous.
Because this is supposed to be a biopic about a cultural icon?
No – Scooter doesn’t wear a hat.
So what’s going to happen to Dylan’s music?
You don’t need to worry – director James Mangold has confirmed that Chalamet will be singing.
That’s what was worrying me.
‘His outing as Roald Dahl’s most beloved anti-hero will have provided ample preparation on the vocals front,’ reports Vogue.
Willy Wonka as custodian of Dylan’s music legacy? Perfect.
The magazine does reassure anyone concerned about the film’s gravitas: ‘A Complete Unknown is set to grapple with more serious subject matter.’
Chalamet has been tweeting Dylan lyrics
Although it’s hard to imagine what might be less serious than a man launching a magical candy factory with a child named Noodle.
Anyway, Chalamet is taking this role very seriously, we learn, and has been preparing for four years.
What’s he been doing – trying on hats?
Strumming his guitar and tweeting lyrics from Dylan songs.
Posting the singer’s lyrics on social media does not make you an aficionado.
The times they are a-changin’…
I’m ignoring that.
If you don’t want to talk about lyrics, let’s go back to the ’fits.
The what?
Outfits, Grandma! GQ informs us that, for day scenes, ‘Chalamet rocked a striped shirt, blue denim jeans, and… Chelsea boots.’
Man wears clothes. How fascinating.
‘At night,’ the report continues, ‘he opted for an all-black shirt instead, and jumped into some trousers.’
Trousers at night? This certainly is radical stuff.
Digital Spy, meanwhile, offers us the first look at Chalamet’s ‘hair transformation’ for the new movie.
What has he had done?
The website’s reporter thinks grey highlights but others are saying it’s hair gel.
To make Chalamet’s ’do look a bit more beatnik and a bit less Beverly Hills?
No, to stop it blowin’ in the wind.
