Timothée Chalamet didn’t miss out on the fun at a unique event in New York City—a lookalike contest in his honor!
The 28-year-old Dune actor made a discreet appearance at Washington Square Park on Sunday (October 27) where fans gathered to find the ultimate Timothée Chalamet lookalike. Hundreds of people joined the crowd, hoping to win the top prize of $50 cash for their best Timothée impression.
Chalamet, donning a face mask for a low-key look, slipped into the middle of the crowd without anyone noticing—at first. Then, he surprised everyone by revealing his identity, catching fans and lookalikes off guard. Variety even captured the moment he revealed himself, which has quickly gained traction online.
The event grew larger than expected, drawing so many people that the NYPD got involved to help manage the crowd and keep the gathering safe. Officers were seen trying to disperse the onlookers since the event lacked an official permit, with one individual reportedly detained and issued a summons, according to NBC New York.
In a funny twist, Chalamet appeared right in the middle of a lookalike taking photos, adding to the surprise for those participating in the contest. Fans also watched as the event’s organizer crowned a winner, who sported a purple Wonka cape, referencing Chalamet’s role in the Wonka movie.
Chalamet’s unexpected presence gave fans the ultimate star experience. It was a day of surprises, fan devotion, and a bit of NYC chaos—a memorable moment for Chalamet fans and lookalikes alike!
