Timothée Chalamet

So how do you know New York, man?

What's the ideal, you know, what does she look like both inside and out?

She's looking for... Likes to laugh, has a good sense of humor.

Could she do somersaults?

Absolutely. And those are two crucial chapters of life. Is your home, you know, wifeable? Not currently. Is there like shit everywhere when you walk out? No.

And it's got a little mic and a camera in there.

She's just... Bro, that's such a good idea.

She's just watching you watch...

It's a murder, yeah.

And it has a camera in it. Yeah. Write it, baby.

What do you watch on Christmas? What would the camera see you doing?

No, I've never seen Family Man.

Have you ever met him? No, man, but Matchstick Men is one of my favorite movies ever. Yeah. You know, Nicolas Cage, man. What a life. But yeah, I'd like to get a wife maybe.

Yeah, she's... Her real name's Suze Rotolo in real life, but the real Bob Dylan was still very protective over her. She was never really famous. So that was one of his big script notes. He said, change that name. And, you know, just... I think he felt protective over her legacy in some way. And so he had some notes about the script. Yeah, exactly. The love triangle is sort of one of the big...

You know, like we do these Q&As for the movie now, and people will say, was Bob, was his behavior towards the people that he was in a relationship with in his life, you know, it's definitely complicated. But my answer is always, he was focused on his art, first and foremost. Also, this movie's about people in their early 20s. You don't really have life figured out, especially in relationship then.

Yeah. Stuff is a mess at that age. So it was kind of between these two women in the movie, and Joan Baez is a musician and artist, ambitious the way Bob would have been, and Sylvie's really the more grounded character. I think what Elle Fanning does in the movie is incredible. You kind of see the movie through her eyes because she's not one of these famous musicians.

She's really just a real person and is, you know, deeply affected. Right.

Yeah. And the things that pulled... Well, she's the only person in the movie that doesn't have a transactional relationship with him. Right. Really loves him for who he is. And, you know, that was our theory. You know, I never talked to Bob Dylan, but I feel like that's why I think he's still fond of that relationship and private about it, because...

if maybe the rest of his life could be confusing. I'm not, I don't want to speak for him, but confusing about like who's being genuine with me and who's not. She was always the clear day one. Clear candidate.

Yeah. You know? Yeah, no one's like a great... Besides Elle Fanning, everyone comes off a little... Real. Yeah, yeah, hopefully, yeah.
