The actor, who stars as the Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door hitmaker, cruised down the red carpet on the green bike before successfully ending his ride via his mobile phone. 

His co-star Monica Barbaro put on a very glamorous display in a plunging black figure-hugging gown as she arrived at the lavish event – which female lead Elle Fanning notable missed. 

Monica, 34, who plays Joan Baez in the new movie, wowed as she posed up a storm on the red carpet.

The movie focuses on Dylan’s early career, his transition from folk to rock, and his performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, with Timothée being praised for his portrayal.

It comes after Timothée revealed he had ‘five years of singing practice’ ahead of his role as Bob Dylan in the biopic.

Appearing on The Graham Norton Show, he admitted to not knowing much about Bob before, but is now ‘deeply passionate’ about his cultural impact.

Timothée said: ‘I had a lot of time to practice because we were meant to make the film five and half years ago, then there was Covid and then there was the actors’ strike, so I have years to prepare.

‘I was confident about singing and by the time we got to do the film I wanted to sing and play the songs live.’

He added: ‘I didn’t know much about Dylan but now, having worked on it for so long, I really worship at the church of Bob.

‘I am deeply passionate about this man and his work. My friends are tired of hearing me talk about him ad nauseam.

‘This man has been so impactful on culture and this film and this role are the ones I am most proud of.’

The Oscar nominee, who did not have any face time with the hitmaker prior to playing him, has been praised by critics for saving the film, despite its flaws.

Timothée continued: ‘Bob is an elusive, mysterious figure and a man of few words so I never got the chance to meet him.

‘I would like to, but I am very respectful that it is true to his character that I would never get to meet him.’
