"I never met him," the Wonka star told the host.

However, Chalamet noted that he "would love to" meet the 83-year-old artist.

“He’s sort of retreated from the public eye," the Due star said, "Never met him. Would love to!”

He revealed that Dylan was indirectly involved in his biopic, "He approved the script, he made modifications to the script, there are lines that are his in the script that I relished."

“There was one I was saying to Jim Mangold … ‘This is good, man. When did you come up with this?’ He goes, ‘Bob put that in.’ He has the Bob-annotated script. I want it,” the Oscar-nominated actor added.

It is pertinent to mention that the biopic A Complete Unknown is all set to hit theaters on December 25.
