Timothée Chalamet showed up to support his fans, who have taken on his name … surprising everyone at an impromptu look-alike contest in NYC — and igniting excitement among the crowd.

Although the victor of the contest was expected to receive merely $50 … participants surprisingly also gained a second prize — an encounter with the “Dune: Part Two” star.
Check out the clip which is presently trending on social media … one of the look-alike contenders is positioned in front of a white backdrop, when Tim unexpectedly rolls in from the side, dressed in an outfit that strikingly resembles that of his doppelgänger.
The crowd takes a moment to connect the dots here — considering there are a few Chalamet impersonators present, after all — but once they realize what’s happening, the air fills with enthusiastic cheers and embraces.
Chalamet resides in New York City … it’s unclear whether he was aware of the contest beforehand or if he just heard about the buzz and dashed over spontaneously — irrespective, it was a delightful moment for some of his truest admirers.

By the way … local news reports indicate that authorities ultimately had to disperse this gathering — with a police spokesperson confirming that at least one individual was taken into custody. Let’s hope Timothée managed to escape without any issues.
Even in a realm of pure fantasy, we’re quite certain these fans never anticipated encountering the real Timothée Chalamet today!
