A Timothée Chalamet lookalike was arrested during a contest to see who looked most like the actor. The doppelgänger has since spoken out, saying the whole experience was “absolutely wild.”
On Sunday, October 27, YouTuber Anthony Po hosted a Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest. The competition was held in lower Manhattan, New York.
However, the large crowd drew the attention of the NYPD, resulting in a hefty fine and one arrest.
The citizen who was arrested, Matt Mannix, attended the event because he thought it would be “funny.” Instead, he was handcuffed and charged with two counts of failure to comply with directions from park staff, police officers, or park signs, disorderly conduct, and trespassing.
Mannix has since spoken out in an interview with Teen Vogue about his unexpected arrest, saying that an officer put his hands on him “without warning.” He explained that the cop pushed him several times and held his wrists together for “about three minutes.”
“Throughout this whole process, I keep asking him, ‘Am I being detained? Am I being detained? Am I being detained?’ And the entire time, he does not answer,” Mannix said. “So he just keeps deflecting by asking me, ‘Are you leaving? Are you leaving?’ And I don’t know how he wants me to leave when he’s still gripping onto my wrists.”
Mannix added how “absolutely wild” the whole situation was and that he’s still managing the “jumble of emotions that keep oscillating.”
