Timothée Chalamet crashes his own lookalike contest in New York

Actor shows up at event of Willy Wonka and Paul Atreides costumes, where police broke up crowd and made an arrest

Timothée Chalamet made a surprise appearance at his own lookalike contest in lower Manhattan on Sunday, a crowded event that drew an order to disperse from police and at least one arrest.

Flanked by bodyguards, the actor posed for photos with his high-cheeked, curly haired doppelgängers, some of whom had dressed as Willy Wonka and Paul Atreides – characters that Chalamet has played in Wonka and the Dune movies. At times, adoring fans heaped their attention on the lookalikes, apparently thinking they were face-to-face with the real Chalamet.
