Man Behind Timothée Chalamet Look-Alike Contest Is Happy It's Being Copied

LOADING ERROR LOADING Since the Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest at the end of October, in which an estimated 2,000 people showed up at a Manhattan park, including the namesake himself, several iterations of the contest have popped up all over the world. “Unfortunately, brands are starting to figure that out, so that’s a little bit less fun.” Po said he couldn’t remember which look-alike contest was hosted by a brand. Anthony Po watches a contestant perform Oct. 27 at the Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest near Washington Square Park in New York City. Stefan Jeremiah/Associated Press The Chalamet look-alike contest was an overall positive experience, except for the arrests of four people for being at an “unscheduled demonstration,” according to The New York Times. In Po’s YouTube video documenting the event, police told Po he had to leave Washington Square Park, so he led the “Timothée Chalamet Pilgrimage” to a “contingency plan skate park” nearby.
