At the film’s Paris premiere last Wednesday (January 15), Chalamet took time on the red carpet to snap photos and sign autographs. One fan captured his attention, holding a vinyl copy of Sivan’s 2023 album, Something to Give Each Other.

In 2023, Chalamet hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live, where he humorously impersonated Sivan as a sleep demon in one of the sketches. “I’m an Australian YouTube twink turned indie pop star and a model turned HBO actor Troye Sivan, played by an American actor who can’t do an Australian accent,” he quipped. Chalamet cheekily described Sivan as a “wetted Machine Gun Kelly.”
Chalamet even performed a dance routine from Sivan’s “Got Me Started,” which culminated in him pulling down his pants to show off bright red underwear.

Sivan shared his thoughts on Chalamet’s parody, mentioning in a TikTok that it felt like “a weird f—ing dream,” humorously noting, “Imagine… Timothée Chalamet was in my dreams, but he was me and wore my clothes.”
In a four-star review of Complete Unknown, NME‘s Alex Flood remarked, “If you’re new to Bob, you’ll leave the theater eager to explore his back catalogue. If you’re already a fan, you’ll find yourself compiling playlists of hidden B-sides or uncovering scenes you weren’t aware of. That’s why making this film was a worthy endeavor—a crazy idea, but a worthy one.”
Reflecting on his role as Bob Dylan, Chalamet explained to NME: “I had time to work 10,000 hours, which in three or four months is really impossible… There was no deadline for this. I didn’t study for anyone else. I studied for myself.”
In other news, Chalamet recently faced a fine for riding a LimeBike to the film’s UK premiere. Complete unknown.
