Actor Timothée Chalamet surprised his own doppelganger competition in Lower Manhattan on Sunday. The police had to intervene because of the crowding.
No, style is not the end all, and you either have it or you don’t. Timothée Chalamet has it, the young Hollywood star is so good that they even organize similar competitions for him. There was one in New York on Sunday and there was so much going on that the police eventually had to intervene in the brunette crowd. Perhaps the surprise of the day was also crucial to the high mood: the real Timothée Chalamet, surrounded by bodyguards, mixed with his colleagues and himself photographed in the crowd.
The event was one of several contests hosted by YouTuber Anthony Po. Thousands of people came and the winner was expected to receive $50 in prize money. The idea didn’t quite work. Just minutes after the competition started, police asked people to leave Washington Square Park, where the event was being held. The organizers were fined $500. One person is said to have been arrested. (sh)
