In a twist that feels straight out of a movie, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a> showed up at his own lookalike contest in New York City on Sunday (Oct. 27, 2024). The event started as a fun idea and quickly became a whirlwind of excitement and chaos<\/a>.<\/p>\n Picture this: a sea of Timoth\u00e9es, each dressed as one of his iconic characters. Willy Wonkas and Paul Atreides from Dune<\/em> were there as far as the eye could see. Amidst this surreal scene, the real Chalamet appeared, surrounded by bodyguards, taking photos with his doppelg\u00e4ngers. It was like a hall of mirrors come to life!<\/p>\n The contest, advertised on flyers around the city, was part of a series of lookalike events organized by YouTuber Anthony Po<\/strong>. With a $50 prize up for grabs, contestants were quizzed on their plans with Kylie Jenner<\/a> (Chalamet’s rumored girlfriend) and their French skills \u2013 a nod to the actor’s bilingual talents. Ultimately, Miles Mitchell<\/strong> decked out as Willy Wonka snagged the top spot.<\/p>\n But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. The event drew thousands, leading to some tense moments. Police had to step in at Washington Square Park, dispersing crowds and fining organizers for an \u201cunpermitted costume contest.\u201d One contestant even ended up in handcuffs!<\/p>\n
