Timothee Chalamet NYC look-alike contest broken up by cops as event with $50 prize devolves into chaos: 'Let him go!'

At least one shaggy-haired Chalamet doppelganger was handcuffed by cops as the crowd yelled, "Let him go!" This dramatic scene highlights the unexpected chaos of the contest.

Chaos erupted as police intervened in the lookalike contest, declaring it an unlawful gathering. The atmosphere turned from fun to disorder as officers took control.

Dozens in the mob moved on to the Mercer Playground after the crowd was dispersed. This shift in location led to an impromptu speed-dating session among the remaining Chalamet impersonators.

The unusual contest, announced earlier this month, offered a $50 prize for the best Timothee Chalamet lookalike, showcasing the actor's significant fan base and the quirky nature of the event.
