And we can confirm, it’s really Timothee!
“It was important for me to sing and play live,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “Because if I can actually do it, why should there be an element of artifice here? And I’m proud that we took that leap.”
Producer Fred Berger added, “There are 40 songs in the movie that he performs. On guitar, on harmonica, and singing live take after take after take.”
Elle Fanning said of Timothee, “I had goosebumps. You can see how much love and how hard he’s worked and how much he cares about getting this right.”
Co-star Monica Barbaro added, “It was really incredible to watch him perform these songs. Having done so much work on my 11 songs, knowing he had so many and learned to play and sing all of them, and the amount of work that it took me to get to where I got, knowing that he had an entire film’s worth of performances, I was really amazed by how he took on each song and each performance.”
