Over the weekend, a Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest in Lower Manhattan took an unexpected turn, drawing a large crowd and resulting in police intervention. The event, organized by a YouTube personality, attracted numerous participants dressed as characters from Chalamet's popular movies.

Actor Timothée Chalamet himself made a surprise appearance at the contest, posing for photos with his curly-haired doppelgängers. However, the festivities were short-lived as police issued a dispersal order due to the event being an 'unpermitted costume contest,' resulting in a $500 fine for the organizers.

Despite the interruption, the contest continued in a nearby playground, where contestants vied for the audience's approval. Criteria for a good Chalamet look-alike included attention to detail in bone structure and nose shape.
