Elle Fanning and boyfriend Gus Wenner cheer the New York Knicks to a late victory at Madison Square Garden as actress enjoys a date night while filming Bob Dylan biopic
The Greenwich Village folk scene played second fiddle to the New York Knicks on Monday night as Elle Fanning visited Madison Square Garden with boyfriend Gus Wenner.
The 26-year-old actress was courtside as the basketball giants took on the East Coast rival Philadelphia 76ers in Game Two of the Eastern Conference First Round Playoffs.
Fanning, currently starring opposite Timothée Chalamet in the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, seemed to take advantage of a night off by heading out for a date with Wenner.
The couple was on hand to watch the Knicks pull off a late 104-101 victory against the 76ers in a game also attended by director Spike Lee, actor Ben Stiller and comedian Chris Rock.
The 76ers plan to file a complaint regarding their actions during their series against the New York Knicks, a team spokesperson said early Tuesday.

The team lost both games in New York, with the Knicks rallying in the final 30 seconds on Monday night.
Fanning plays Dylan’s ex-girlfriend Sylvie Russo in James Mangold’s new film, which chronicles the folk legend’s arrival in New York City as an unknown musician in 1961 and his subsequent fame and notoriety.
Sylvie is a thinly veiled version of the late artist Suze Rotolo — who started dating the legendary 82-year-old in 1961 when they were teenagers and split in 1964 after their abortion and his affair with Joan Baez.
Suze – who died of lung cancer in 2011 at the age of 67 – inspired several of Bob’s songs, including Boots of Spanish Leather, Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right; and tomorrow is long.
Rotolo inspired Dylan to paint, sing about the civil rights movement and introduced him to the writings of French poet Arthur Rimbaud and German playwright Bertolt Brecht.
She was immortalized after appearing with her then-boyfriend on the cover of his second album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, in 1963.
Chalamet previously showcased his singing voice in Paul King’s 2023 musical prequel Wonka and Woody Allen’s 2019 rom-com A Rainy Day in New York, which also starred Fanning.
Edward Norton, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, Nick Offerman, Dan Fogler and Joe Tippett also star in A Complete Unknown, a lyric in the reclusive 1965 singer-songwriter hit Like A Rolling Stone.
Two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett previously bested Bob Dylan, aka Electric-era Jude Quinn, in Todd Haynes’ critically acclaimed 2007 experimental drama, I’m Not There.

However, A Complete Unknown will be produced by Bob himself.
Dylan (born Robert Zimmerman) will bring his Rough and Rowdy Ways World Wide Tour to the Ameris Bank Amphitheater in Alpharetta, GA on June 21st.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is truly a national treasure and has received ten Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Pulitzer Prize Special Mention, and the Nobel Prize in Literature.
