When co-host Nicole Ryan asked if Chalamet comes up with an acceptance speech to be prepared for award shows or wings it when he gets called up on stage, the actor replied,
"What a great question' cause like you said, this is my fourth Golden Globe nomination. Look, I'll just say this...there's nothing more uniquely hilarious and something you cannot share with anyone when you get home and you tear up the little thing you never had to use and you think to yourself, 'You narcissistic arrogrant prick. On what planet did you think you were going to use this'."

"It's the furthest I've stretched myself" - says Timothee Chalamet on playing Bob Dylan
While speaking to Hollywood Reporter in a recent cover story, Timothee Chalamet revealed he had to learn to play the guitar and sing for his role of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. About his preparing to play Bob Dylan on screen, the actor revealed,
"It's the furthest I've stretched myself. And it became so biblical to me in terms of this man's life and his work that I felt if I let my focus err for a second, that I'd be self loathing about it for years to come."
The actor said that he had "three months to play Bob Dylan" and wanted to give it his all. During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show on December 20, Chalamet noted the pandemic and the actor's strike allowed him plenty of time to master his role as Bob Dylan.
The actor said that although he didn't know much about Dylan, he became deeply passionate about the legendary singer and his work after "working for so long" on the project.
