Timothée Chalamet crashes at the Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest in NYC

Lower Manhattan was abuzz on Sunday as hundreds of people dressed as actor Timothée Chalamet descended on the Washington Arch to take part in a lookalike contest. But few expected Chalamet himself to show up, which the “Dune” actor did when photos of the event began circulating on social media.

Video from the daytime show: Fans went wild after Chalamet showed up and hugged two of the lookalikes.

The winner of the competition received $50 and excited fans shared photos from the event on social media.

It also emerged that at least one look-alike had been arrested at the event, which was closed down by police after it was declared an unlawful assembly. FM104 reported that at least 900 people registered for the event.

The New York Post reported that “dozens” of attendees and participants moved the event to Mercer Park, “where more than half a dozen remaining Chalamet wannabes started speed-dating rounds with female admirers.”

Chalamet is currently in New York filming Marty Supreme. Directed by Josh Safdie, the film also stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Tyler, The Creator and follows the life of table tennis champion Marty Reisman.

“Marty Supreme” is Safdie’s first film since 2019’s “Uncut Gems” and was announced in July.

Chalamet's next release is the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown” from “Walk the Line” filmmaker James Mangold. The actor sings himself in the film and plays the guitar, piano and harmonica. The film hits theaters on December 25th.
