Timothée Chalametis the latest celebrity to embracemethod dressing.

The actor, 28, appeared at the Friday, Dec. 13, premiere of his latest film,A Complete Unknown, a biopic ofBob Dylan. Chalamet dressed as Dylan when he appeared at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of his filmMasked and Anonymousin 2003.

At the N.Y.C. premiere, Chalamet wore a Celine black leather jacket and vintage pure black denim pants, replicating Dylan’s edgy look from two decades prior. Like Dylan, 83, Chalamet wore a red plaid flannel underneath his leather jacket and topped it off with a gray plaid scarf.

But Chalamet’s recreation didn’t stop there. TheOscarnominee also arrived at the event with a blonde hairdo, just like Dylan’s 2003 locks. He sported anOld Navy ribbed blue marl beanie, and his blond bangs peeked out across his forehead.

Chalamet replicated the look down to the facial hair. While the actor confessed on the Dec. 12episode ofThe Late Show with Stephen Colbertthat his thin mustache is for the project he’s currently filming,Marty Supreme, it worked in his favor when mimicking Dylan’s look.

Chalamet, who has alreadygenerated buzz for his performance, gotDylan’s stamp of approvalin a Dec. 4X (formerly known as Twitter) post.

“There’s a movie about me opening soon calledA Complete Unknown(what a title!),” Dylan began. “Timothée Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me.”

The musician continued, “The film’s taken from Elijah Wald’sDylan Goes Electric– a book that came out in 2015. It’s a fantastic retelling of events from the early ‘60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport. After you’ve seen the movie read the book.”
