Get ready for Timothée Chalamet singing Bob Dylan.
Chalamet, who is decidedly not a complete unknown, stars as a young Dylan in “A Complete Unknown.”
The actor took the stage with a guitar to sing (see video below) as filming for James Mangold’s Dylan movie rolled on in New Jersey.
Joining him onstage to sing at Mountainside’s Echo Lake Park Monday was Monica Barbaro.
The “Top Gun: Maverick” actor plays folk music star Joan Baez in the movie.
Baez and Dylan had a relationship in the ’60s. Early-career Dylan is the focus of the film.

The scenes filmed in Mountainside recreated Dylan and Baez’s performance at the 1963 Monterey Folk Festival, where they performed a duet of “With God on Our Side.” (See a clip of them below doing the same at the Newport Folk Festival.)
Chalamet’s singing voice can be heard in the actor’s performance as Willy Wonka in the movie “Wonka,” released last year.
“A Complete Unknown” filmed overnight in Hoboken last Friday (April 12).
Moran’s pub on Garden Street was given a complete ’60s makeover for the scenes, becoming McAnn’s Bar and Restaurant.
Chalamet fans watched as the “Dune: Part Two” actor crossed the street and entered the pub as Dylan. He was dressed in black with a white shirt, dark boots and shades, smoking a cigarette as he sauntered over to the bar sporting young Dylan’s signature hair.

“A Complete Unknown” is filming in Jersey through June.
Last week, Chalamet, 28, was seen filming in Paterson and Passaic with another of his co-stars, Elle Fanning.
Fanning reportedly plays a character based on Suze Rotolo, an artist who Dylan had a relationship with in the early ’60s in New York. Rotolo appears with Dylan on the cover of his 1963 album “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.”
The Searchlight Pictures movie has also filmed in Jersey City. In May, the production is set to film in Cape May, where the movie looks to be recreating another folk festival — the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
Dylan famously went electric at the Rhode Island event by playing an electric guitar for the first time, which didn’t sit well with some in the folk community.

The festival is also where Dylan first performed his 1965 song “Like a Rolling Stone.” The Chalamet film’s title comes from the lyrics:
“How does it feel?” Dylan sings. "To be on your own, with no direction home. A complete unknown, like a rolling stone.”
An open casting call went out for the Cape May scenes — the movie needed Jersey locals to serve as extras.
The cast of “A Complete Unknown” also includes Oscar nominee Edward Norton as folk legend Pete Seeger.
Chalamet serves as a producer alongside Mangold, who co-wrote the film with Jay Cocks (”Gangs of New York”).
The Oscar-nominated director has helmed films including “Walk the Line,” which starred Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter.
He also directed the 2019 movie “Ford v. Ferrari” and the Jersey-set “Cop Land” (1997).
