Bob Dylan had insisted on inserting an incorrect fact into the film, A Complete Unknown. The team associated with the biopic of the End of the Line singer recently sat down to speak with Rolling Stone and discussed some events that happened during filming.

When we spoke to the outlet, it was director James Mangold along with the lead, Timothée Chalamet, as well as actors Edward Norton and Elle Fanning.

That’s when the director said Bob Dylan had sat down with him in Los Angeles and gone through the film’s script, line by line, recalling Mangold saying, “I felt like Bob just wanted to know what I was doing.”

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery actor Edward Norton explained that Bob Dylan had insisted on putting a completely wrong moment in the film.

According to the actor, when the director, James Mangold, had become concerned about what audiences would think of the fictional sequence in the film, the Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right singer gave Mangold a glare and told him, “What do you care care about what other people think?”

The Kingdom of Heaven actor then went on to call Dylan a “troublemaker”.

Elsewhere in the interview, Elle Fanning, who plays the character Sylvie Russo, who is actually a fictional version of Dylan’s first girlfriend in New York, Suze Rotolo, stated that the singer did not want the biopic to use Rotolo’s real name.

The A Rainy Day in New York actress then stated that Rotolo, who died back in 2011, was a very private person.

Elle Fanning also mentioned that Rotolo had not asked for this life, further adding that she was someone very close and special to Bob Dylan.
