Timothée Chalamet treated his 19.3 million Instagram followers to a bizarre 14-minute livestream on Monday afternoon in which he smashed a guitar and danced shirtless.
The Oscar nominee – who turns 29 on Friday – started the live streaming somber as he sat in an office chair in a vast empty soundstage.
Timothée watched a montage of Bob Dylan footage as his 1991 song Blind Willie McTell blared in the background.
Chalamet – who plays Dylan in A Complete Unknown – randomly smashed a guitar to smithereens a la Nirvana without saying a word.
The Dune: Part Two action star then raised his arms in triumph as The Black Eyed Peas’ 2009 song I Gotta Feeling began to play.
“Congratulations Timmothee,” flashed on the big screen, misspelling Timothée’s name.

‘You did it. Well done Timmy. Good luck with your future. Impressive – to say the least. We are so proud of you. We’ll see your other films.’
Chalamet danced around before a shadowy figure resembling his famous girlfriend of one year — Kylie Jenner, producer-star of the Kardashians — entered the frame, hugged him and walked out of frame.
Four more shadowy people embraced the native New Yorker, who took off his hoodie to reveal a white tank top and danced around the vast space.
Timothée shot three confetti cannons into the air before deciding to soak his entire head in a sink.
Chalamet then took off his tank top, showing off his slim 6-foot-4 frame.
The Bleu de Chanel brand ambassador lay down on the floor, performed the Homer Simpson twisting motion and thrust his hips repeatedly.
The livestream ended with Timothée — still shirtless — walking out of the venue to a rain-soaked loading dock near a train track, humming to himself.
Chalamet’s video came after he celebrated early Christmas with the 27-year-old Kylie Cosmetics founder and her daughter Stormi Webster, 6; and son Aire Webster, 2; of her five-year relationship with disgraced Astroworld founder Travis Scott.
“They had a really nice dinner with Kylie’s family and drove around to look at the Christmas lights,” a source said. Page six.

‘Timothée not only got presents for Kylie, but also for the children, which Kylie thought was so sweet and thoughtful. Kylie and Timothée both visit their families for Christmas, but they remain connected despite being separated. They schedule FaceTiming, texting and calling.”
Wonka’s triple threat has been preparing for five years to transform into the legendary Bob Dylan for Searchlight Pictures’ fully authorized biopic A Complete Unknown, which opens in US theaters this Wednesday and UK theaters on January 17.
Timothée reportedly enlisted the exact same team — movement coach Polly Bennett, vocal coach Scott Flaherty and dialect coach Erik Singer — that his Dune co-star Austin Butler hired to play Elvis in 2022.
Last week, Chalamet was nominated for the Best Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama) trophy at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, which air Jan. 5 on CBS/Paramount+.
The Independent Spirit Award winner will face stiff competition against Conclave’s Ralph Fiennes, Queer’s Daniel Craig, Sing Sing’s Colman Domingo, The Apprentice’s Sebastian Stan and The Brutalist’s Adrien Brody.
Timothée has already scored awards for his performance at Gotham Awards, Boston Society of Film Critics, Astra Film Awards, Palm Springs Film Festival and Santa Barbara Film Festival.
Two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett previously tackled electric-era Dylan, aka Jude Quinn, in Todd Haynes’ critically acclaimed 2007 experimental drama, I’m Not There.
However, A Complete Unknown was executive produced by the enigmatic 83-year-old himself, who tweeted on December 4 that he is “sure [Chalamet is] will be as believable as I am, which suggests he never plans to watch the movie.
