Timothée Chalamet Crashes A Timothée Chalamet Look-a-Like Contest

He calling them by his name

Two Timothées, both alike in dignity, in fair New York where we lay our scene.

New York is really one of the most special places in the world, and I have to say, I’m living vicariously through New Yorkers right now. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this, but for the last two weeks, I’ve been traveling through Spain, eating, praying, and loving the way Julia Roberts would have wanted (A Guide on this coming later). Much to my chagrin, New York has continued its hijinks without me, the jinks in question—Timothée Chalamet crashing a look-a-like contest devoted to him.

Side note, this is what it feels like to be extremely online trying to explain to your boyfriend who doesn’t have Twitter and hasn’t updated his Instagram account in 4 years that things are happening!!!

So in case you don’t have Twitter (or don’t live in New York) and have no idea what’s going on either, I’m gonna break it down for you like you’re 5. A few week ago, a flurry of fascinating flyers appeared in SoHo, alerting passersby about a Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Competition. It went viral on Twitter, and it seemed like it was just a silly little thing that New Yorkers do…

Until people actually started applying, and posting photos before the meetup

Somehow this actually got back to the real Chalamet. Timmy was in New York shooting his new film Marty Supreme, and between takes, he decided to go for a walk, later posting this to his stories—and if we’re being honest, the signs (quite literally) were there. This is some Beyoncé type easter egg behaviour. Maybe she can get him to release the visuals.

Ever the oracle, Club Chalamet, the deranged equivalent of my Chris Pine’s Pine Pals, weighed in on the subject, as she is often wont to do. (Don’t tell her I said that)

But even an abandoned clock is wrong most of the day! Because guess what, he showed up! Timothée showed up to congratulate the winner of the lookalike contest (the prize was a trophy and $50) and honestly, the only thing that separates him from the other lookalikes is the swag. Justin Bieber was right about “drippin swagu”

Like, I’m sorry but this is so fun of him. It’s like when Adele crashed her lookalike contest. Just pure innocent fun. Guys being dudes, calling each other by their names.

Timmy Tim is a man of the people. But of course, the cops showed up and ruined the fun, and arrested a few of the Timothées! God forbid people have FUN!

And while I appreciate this whimsy of it all, in my book, there was one winner who was CLEARLY robbed. Spitting image, truly. Give him his crown!!!

Anyway, I am a holding Chris Pine Look-a-Like Competition in my bedroom between the hours of 9pm and 9am. Tell your fathers. Tell your uncles. Tell your handsome older brothers. Get the word out.
