Timothee Chalamet Showed Up To His Own LookALike Competition And The Police Had To Get Involved

Buy Me A Coffee

When you hear the phrase “Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest,” you probably don’t expect the Timothée Chalamet to sneak in wearing a disguise—but that’s exactly what went down at Washington Square Park on October 27. This man really said, “If you want something done right, do it yourself.”

Chalamet, a 28-year-old cheekbone ambassador (and part-time star of Dune), pulled the ultimate celebrity move by going incognito. Mask on, swagger mode activated, he casually waded into the sea of people all vying to be crowned the king of Chalamet Clones. And then—BAM!—he pulled off the mask like he was unmasking Scooby-Doo’s villain of the week. Surprise! The real Timmy was in the house. Bet no one saw that twist coming.

By 1 p.m., the event was in full swing, with hundreds of Timothée wannabes roaming about like a hipster flash mob. Contestants were out here perfecting their best “I read poetry in cafés” faces and showing off their “hair tousled by the winds of existential dread” looks. Stakes were high, the winner was promised a whopping $50 cash prize. Hey, that’s like… two oat milk lattes in New York.

Of course, the NYPD had to crash the fun, showing up to manage the crowd. Apparently, a swarm of Timothées counts as a “public disturbance.” Police tried to break things up, citing a lack of a permit—because, you know, New York takes unauthorized Chalamet worship very seriously. At least one unlucky person got detained, though we can only assume it was due to having too much bone structure.

Now, here’s where things get downright magical: As Timothée himself weaved through the chaos, he startled one of the lookalikes mid-photo op. Imagine trying your hardest to be Timothée Chalamet, only for Timothée Chalamet to sneak up behind you like some cheekbone ghost of Christmas Past.

The event’s organizer eventually announced a winner, who showed up wearing a purple Wonka cape. Was it a hint at Timmy’s upcoming Willy Wonka movie? Was it just a fabulous wardrobe choice? The world may never know—but one thing’s for sure: The real Timothée Chalamet came, saw, and conquered. And now, somewhere out there, someone is $50 richer with a story they’ll tell for the rest of their life: “I met Timothée Chalamet… at a Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest. And I lost.”
