Timothee Chalamet was seen with co-star Elle Fanning in New Jersey on Tuesday shooting scenes for the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown.
The 28-year-old actor and the 26-year-old actress were seen in character as Bob Dylan and Sylvie Russo, respectively, as cameras rolled along the sidewalk.
Carrying a guitar case and a cup of to-go coffee, Chalamet embodied the legendary singer-songwriter, who will turn 82 next month.
Chalamet was costumed for the day in a flannel shirt worn underneath a dark brown zip-up jacket, and he finished off his look with a pair of blue jeans.
His scene partner Fanning walked beside him in a 60s-era outfit complete with a cropped red coat, a striped turtleneck and black cigarette pants.

The Maleficent star sported black leather ballet flats and a vintage woven purse.
Fanning appeared to be wearing little to no makeup and her golden blonde hair was worn in a half up, half down style.
A Complete Unknown is based on Elijah Wald’s book Dylan Goes Electric! Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night That Split the Sixties, which was released in 2015.
The movie will be focused on Dylan’s early years in New York City and his involvement with the early 1960s folk scene.
The legendary musician’s controversial switch to an electrically amplified sound will also be covered.
Development on the project was revealed to the public in 2020, when James Mangold and Chalamet signed on to direct and star in the film.
The movie will feature the talents of an ensemble cast that includes the likes of Nick Offerman, Edward Norton and Monica Barbaro.
While filming was originally set to commence last year, production was put on hold due to the onset of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.
The feature’s team waited until the end of the strike to commence shooting, and production on the project ultimately kicked off this past March.
Mangold spoke about the feature during an episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast and expressed that the feature would not cover Dylan’s entire life.

‘The reason Bob has been so supportive of us making it, is it’s about, as in all cases I think of the best true-life movies are never cradle to grave but they’re about a very specific moment,’ he said.
The filmmaker also stated that he had spent an extended period of time with Dylan, who was a fan of one of his early films.
He recalled: ‘I have a script that’s personally annotated by him and treasured by me. He loves movies. The first time I sat down with Bob, one of the first things he said to me was, “I love Cop Land.”‘
