Police Break Up Chalamet Look-Alike Contest That Drew Large Crowd and the Real Timothée

BBG News

As a seasoned cinephile with decades of film-watching and appreciation under my belt, I must say, the Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest was an event that brought a unique blend of humor, excitement, and a touch of chaos to the heart of New York City.

NEW YORK – On a surprising turn, actor Timothée Chalamet unexpectedly showed up at a doppelganger competition held in Lower Manhattan last Sunday. The gathering attracted numerous spectators, prompted a police dispersal order, and resulted in at least one detention.

Accompanied by his security detail, Chalamet momentarily stopped for snapshots alongside several individuals who bore a striking resemblance to him, some of whom had donned costumes representing his characters from the films “Wonka” and “Dune”.

However, much like aspiring Timothys were making their way down the red carpet of Washington Square Park, authorities demanded that the sizeable gathering scatter. The organizers received a hefty $500 fine for staging an “unauthorized costume competition” without proper permission.

At least one contestant was taken away in handcuffs, though police did not immediately say why. A spokesperson for the NYPD said charges were pending.

Initially, it was just a harmless prank, but it’s escalated into chaos now,” expressed Paige Nguyen, a producer associated with YouTube personality Anthony Po, who organized the incident.

Over the past few days, organizers have put up flyers advertising a competition offering a $50 reward to the victor across New York City. This has triggered buzz on social media platforms and thousands of responses to an online invitation.

Leaving the park, the team quickly discovered an alternative venue at a neighboring playground. Here, over a dozen competitors vied for spectator favor on a homemade stage.

What makes a good Chalamet?

Lauren Klas, a 27-year-old graphic designer, held onto a fence post to get a closer look at the stage and declared, “It’s all about the nose; his facial structure is remarkable.

As I narrowed the pool of competitors to just four, I found myself delving into some intriguing topics during our Q&A session. We discussed each contestant’s fluency in French, their visions for a brighter future, and surprisingly, their romantic aspirations towards Kylie Jenner. Now, while rumors about Timothée Chalamet and Kylie being an item have been swirling, I can neither confirm nor deny this juicy bit of gossip.

In the end, it was Miles Mitchell, a 21-year-old from Staten Island, who emerged victorious. He donned a purple Willy Wonka costume and distributed sweets to the spectators from a briefcase.

With a giant check labeled “Best Tim” nearby, a crowd gathered eagerly, hoping to snap a picture or exchange social media details with the victor, who was standing there.

Mitchell expressed both excitement and a sense of being overpowered, admitting that there were numerous excellent doppelgängers, making it quite challenging to choose.
