You’re too busy to exercise, right? Your job consumes all your time. You’re strapped by professional and family demands. As you get more and more responsibility, your free time shrinks.

I just went up YouTube and before songs popped up, the San Francisco press conference popped up in ’65. I was just so fascinated to see an artist who was a definitive figure of the ’60s, but who clearly was as much a thinker as he was a forward-facing entertainer. It’s really, really rare to find the people that are deep thinkers and lyricists and artists that as much forward-facing entertainers. So when these artists pop up, like Bob Dylan, or I think in today’s culture, Frank Ocean, we all have a responsibility to champion these artists. Usually, the sensitive nature or whatever you want to call it, would encourage someone with a deep brain like that to not put themselves out there like that — that’s my theory.CHALAMET: It was really D.A. Pennebaker’s “Don’t Look Back.” That was a Bible to me on this. I love, love, love that film. I love music documentaries. There’s a Lil’ Wayne documentary called “The Carter” that’s all these moments. It’s just so special when you can get your camera on these music artists when they’re at a moment like Bob was in “Don’t Look Back.” Lil’ Wayne in “The Carter” is the same thing where they’re learning to turn their back in some way, but they haven’t done it yet.

There aren’t the talking heads. It’s what’s great about Suze Rotolo’s book. It’s really raw. It’s more raw than a lot of the other books about Bob Dylan. It’s very clear-sighted about the young relationship she had with Bob. With an artist of such reverence, it’s important as an actor not to simply revere him. Then you’ll do justice to the people that already revere him, but to everyone else in the room, they won’t get it.

CHALAMET: I picked up a guitar on “Call Me By Your Name” because I pluck out the chords of a song in that film. So I had, like, a really rudimental experience with that. I think sometime in 2018 I had my first lesson with this great guitar teacher named Larry Saltzman who at some point became less of a teacher and more a co-sanity artist through COVID. I think we were keeping each other sane. We would Zoom three, four times a week and doing songs that never made it into the movie.Chalamet in a scene from “A Complete Unknown.” (Macall Polay/Searchlight Pictures via AP)

CHALAMET: All of it. I really liked all of it. I like the more intimate songs like “Girl From the North Country” or “Boots of Spanish Leather” or “One Too Many Mornings” or “Tomorrow Is a Long Time.” But then I also liked “North Country Blues” and “Rocks and Gravel” or “Ballad of Hollis Brown” — things where you hear the iron ore in Bob’s voice, the North Country in Minnesota, the Hibbing. The Hibbing that when I visited you really felt like you were on the edge of America, like the edge of the world. These factories that are covered in snow and the icy roads. That stuff, as a New Yorker, I just started to fall in love with.Presidential candidate George Simion, right, and Calin Georgescu, winner of the first round of last year’s annulled election, speak to the media after casting their votes in the second round of the country’s presidential election redo in Mogosoaia, Romania, Sunday, May 18, 2025.
