After Going Viral For Attending His Own Lookalike Competition, Timothée Chalamet Privately Offered To Pay The Organizer’s $500 Fine

The whole thing had been organized by Anthony Po, and a $50 cash prize was up for grabs for the most convincing Timmy dupe. 

A 21-year-old Staten Island resident called Miles Mitchell ended up being crowned the winner after he dressed up as Timothée in his Wonka era, and reportedly tossed candy into the crowd.

But otherwise, things were pretty chaotic; police intervened and dispersed the crowd before fining Anthony $500 for having an “unpermitted costume contest.” As if that wasn’t enough, one Timothée ended up being taken away in handcuffs.

Through all of this, the real Timmy infiltrated the event, with Variety writing: “Chalamet snuck his way through the packed mob, hiding behind a black mask and baseball hat, before sneaking up on two doppelgängers posing for photos.”

“Once he got to the middle, he took off his mask for the big reveal as shrieks quickly erupted across the park,” the report added.
