Miles Mitchell won the Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest held on October 27, 2024, in Washington Square Park, New York City, and took home the title along with a $50 cash prize.
The event was lively and even more exciting when the 28-year-old actor appeared unexpectedly. Chalamet surprised his fans at the contest, but the atmosphere quickly turned chaotic as the crowd erupted in excitement. This led to police intervention, resulting in four arrests amidst the disorder.
The contest was organized by YouTuber Anthony Po with the help of Paige Nguyen. After the unexpected turn of events, Nguyen commented,
It started off as a silly joke, and now it’s turned pandemonium.
Although things went south, it came to an end. But for Mitchell, the chaos didn’t stop there. Obviously, winning the Timothée look-alike competition brought the 21-year-old worldwide attention.
