Timothée Chalamet embodies Bob Dylan as he's seen for the first time on set for singer's big screen biopic in New York City

Timothée Chalamet kept it casual as he stepped out in a gambler hat and fingerless gloves to portray Bob Dylan while filming the singer-songwriter's biopic. 

The Beautiful Boy actor, 28, embodied the music legend as he was seen carrying a guitar for filming in New York City on Sunday.

Timothee was seen beside a vintage car for the shoot, for which he was dressed in baggy blue jeans, a tartan shirt and a khaki wool-collared jacket. 

His look was finished off with a brown and dark orange knitted scarf, a cord fabric gamblers hat and scuffed brown leather boots.

The star learned to play the guitar for his role in Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name, based on the novel of the same name by André Aciman.

Timothee has been taking more lessons following news of his casting as the  legendary Bob in the upcoming James Mangold-directed biopic.

While filming on Sunday, Timothee was surrounded by large numbers of crew as they tried to catch a scene of him as Bob. 

The film will reportedly focus on the folk singer's explosively controversial decision to go electric in 1965. 

In a recent interview with GQ, the boyfriend of Kylie Jenner revealed that he has been readying himself for the biopic with help from the team who coached Austin Butler for Elvis. 

'I've basically been working with his entire Elvis team for my Dylan prep,' Timothee dished.

'There's a wonderful dialect coach named Tim Monich. Vocal coach named Erich Vetro. Movement coach named Polly Bennett.'

In a tip of the hat to Austin's performance as Elvis, he added: 'I just saw the way he committed to it all - and realised I needed to step it up.'

His upcoming Bob Dylan film, entitled A Complete Unknown, is directed by James Mangold, whose filmography includes the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line.

Benedict Cumberbatch features as the Stalinist folk singer Pete Seeger, with Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash and Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez.

Elle Fanning will be delivering a turn as Timothee's love interest, with PJ Byrne in a supporting role as the legendary music manager Harold Leventhal. 

In 2022, the actor told Variety that he hasn't 'stopped preparing' since landing the role, which he called 'one of the greatest gifts' of his career. 

'It's been a wonderful experience getting to dive into that world, whether we get to make it or not,' he continued. 

'But without giving anything away — because I don't want to beat anyone to the punch, and obviously things have to come together officially — the winds that are blowing are blowing in a very positive direction.'

In July, Timothee was seen with two coaches for the Bob Dylan film - rock 'n' roll movement coach Polly Bennett and dialect coach Tim Monich.

Polly worked with Austin Butler in Elvis and Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody and in No Time To Die.

Tim most recently worked with the case of Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.

He will most likely work with Timothée on mimicking Bob Dylan's unique voice and way of speaking. 

The New York native most recently showed off his singing voice in the movie musical Wonka, released in December.
