MINNEAPOLIS— Many Timothée Chalamet fans stood in the cold for hours Thursday evening for a chance to see the Oscar-nominated actor who made a stop in Minneapolis. He certainly felt the love and gave it right back to Minnesota.
“I was about to take a shift at work and I thought, no, I have better things to do. I need to be here,” one fan said.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I had to come. I even skipped working for this.” Another fan said.
Timothée Chalamet didn’t let a poster pass unsigned at The Main Theater in northeast Minneapolis. He generously thanked Minnesotans for attending his early screening of the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown.”

Earlier in the day, the actor spent the day touring Dinkytown, where Bob Dylan spent a small part of his life before gaining worldwide fame.
“I haven’t had a classic American college experience, so I’m trying to condense it into these three days,” Chalament said. “No, it was great. Obviously he came here for a while. He went to school for a while. Dinkytown was very informative about his folk music obsessions. I love Minnesota and I love the people here. It’s real. ” “
He is grateful that this role took him to Minnesota, especially the smaller cities of Hibbing and Duluth, where he researched Dylan’s upbringing before filming.
“I think he’s very proud of his Minnesota heritage. And in some ways the way I relate to it. The iron ore in his songs and the iron ore in his voice. As a New Yorker, as a 28-year-old New Yorker I don’t think my path would have really brought me here. So when I first came here, I thought to myself what a gift it was in Bob Dylan’s worldview.”
“A Complete Stranger” will be released to the public on Christmas Day
