Bob Dylan’s had a lot of creative control in the making of his biopic A Complete Unknown, and according to one of the film’s stars Edward Norton (), the legendary singer-songwriter “insisted on [adding] at least one totally inaccurate scene.”
According to the actor, who plays Pete Seeger, wouldn’t disclose exactly what part – or parts – of the film he was referring to, but told Rolling Stone that Dylan took “obvious pleasure in obfuscation and distortion.”
“He’s such a troublemaker,” he quipped.
Norton also noted that director and co-writer James Mangold pushed back on Dylan’s suggestion, expressing worry about what viewers would think, to which he replied: “What do you care what other people think?”
Timothée Chalamet, who plays Dylan in the biopic, also spoke to Rolling Stone about how impressed he was with the musician’s contributions to the script.
“Bob would [insert] these one-off lines that were so fantastic,” the actor gushed. “[Mangold] has an annotated Bob script lying around somewhere. I’ll beg him to get my hands on it. He’ll never give it to me.”
