London just got a heavy dose of star power, and quite frankly, it may never recover. Timothée “Hair Like an Art Installation” Chalamet decided to casually waltz into the city alongside his gorgeous co-stars, Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro, for the A Complete Unknown photocall at The Curzon Mayfair. The event took place on Monday (December 16), and yes, the atmosphere was buzzing with more mystique than Bob Dylan’s entire discography.
Also in attendance? Director James Mangold, whose last name is as strong and majestic as this cast.
For those living under a rock—or who simply don’t obsessively Google Timothée Chalamet on a daily basis—A Complete Unknown dives deep into the New York folk scene of the early ‘60s. Chalamet plays 19-year-old Bob Dylan, who went from “that scruffy kid with a guitar” to “legend who made people cry at concerts.” The film promises plenty of moody strumming, hats that mysteriously stay cool no matter the decade, and Dylan’s unforgettable mic-drop moment when he dared to go electric at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. Somewhere, banjos are still shaking.
Meanwhile, Elle Fanning showed up looking effortlessly ethereal (as always), Monica Barbaro looked sleek in a chic Celine dress that probably costs more than my rent, and Timmy? Well, Timmy continues to exist on this Earth as if plucked straight from a Renaissance painting that’s been left near a guitar case full of poetry.
Mark your calendars and your Dylan playlists, because A Complete Unknown hits theaters on December 25—making it the perfect Christmas activity for when you need a break from family drama and five servings of mashed potatoes.
P.S. If Timothée’s hair isn’t nominated for its own Oscar this year, we riot.
