Timothée Chalamet's dedication to embodying Bob Dylan for his upcoming role in 'A Complete Unknown' continues off-screen. The actor recently posted an Instagram photo sporting a denim jacket covered in patches, lace, and fringing, instantly recognized as the original jacket worn by Dylan in his 1987 film 'Hearts of Fire'.
The jacket was sold at a Julien's auction in January to an anonymous bidder for £19,575. Vogue quickly identified Chalamet as the buyer, highlighting his commitment to 'method dressing'. This isn't the first time Chalamet has donned Dylan's attire; he previously wore Dylan's leather biker jacket to a Lakers game and has even recreated iconic Dylan looks for premieres. Some speculated Kylie Jenner might have gifted the jacket, given her family's history of acquiring iconic pieces, but Chalamet's dedication to his craft makes him the likeliest buyer.
Chalamet's purchase underscores his deep dive into the character of Bob Dylan, blurring the lines between actor and role in a way that captivates fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
