Timothée Chalamet gets candid about his acting journey

During a conversation with Dune co-star, Josh Brolin on February 14, Chalamet, 29, humorously reflected on his acting range after a collection of his past roles was shown to the audience.

He was awarded the Arlington Artist of the Year Award, as a nod to his film expertise and especially for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.

"Wonka to Bob Dylan. Really?" he joked, commenting on the diverse nature of his characters.

The actor also shared his admiration for Dylan, saying, "I admire Bob Dylan [and] these great lyricists [and] artists that generate the work... Maybe one day I'll generate the work. Maybe one day I'll write something great."

The film stars Timothée Chalamet as Dylan and is directed by James Mangold.
