The Beautiful Boy star came on Josh Horowitz’s podcast and discussed how Bob Dylan’s longtime manager, Jeff Rosen gave Timothee the access to the playlist of unreleased songs by the Nobel laureate which were recorded between 1959 and 1964. The reports also tell us that Chalamet will be singing in the biopic and referred to Dylan’s music as “gold”.

While speaking about this on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Timothee said, “This might earn the ire and wrath of a lot of Bob fans, rightfully but he (Rosen) sent me like a 12-hour playlist of unreleased Bob stuff from like 1959 to '64. I feel like I'm holding onto gold or something”. He also added that some of that music is available to Dylan’s fans via bootlegs like The Minnesota Tapes.
