Fans went wild when actor Timothee Chalamet showed up unexpectedly and posed for photos at his own lookalike contest in New York.

Videos shared to X showed Chalamet surprising his doppelgangers and stopping to take photos with fans.

However, before the actor showed up, police ordered the group to disperse and fined the organisers for an 'unpermitted costume contest', according to media reports.

One lookalike was taken away in handcuffs, the reason why was not clear. - Report from Reuters
