Fans hold Timothee Chalamet lookalike contest in Manhattan

Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest over the weekend“I think it’s funny. I think I’m doing good in the court of public opinion in that regard,” Anthony Po told The Post. “So I can’t be upset, you know?5The event — which drew a horde of counterfeit Hollywood heartthrobs and several hundred onlookers — was just another in a long line of Manhattan stunts spearheaded by Po, who boasts nearly 2 million YouTube subscribers.

Unlike those eating antics, the lookalike contest erupted into chaos shortly after the “Laurie” Laurences and Willy Wonkas lined up near the Washington Square Park fountain — with one shaggy-haired contestant even being led away in handcuffs. The jokester said he paid for the labor and transportation for his crew of 12 people, plus a trove of props like a penny-farthing and a $250 trophy for the winner.
