Timothée Chalamet fined $79 for attending his own movie premiere
Chalamet spent more money on transport than he had anticipated at the London premiere of “A Complete Unknown”.
Timothée Chalamet has become one of Hollywood’s hottest properties in recent years thanks to his appearances in movies such as “Call Me By Your Name,” “Beautiful Boy” and “Wonka”. Yet his stardom doesn’t mean he is above the law (and neither it should).
The 29-year-old appeared on French television show “Quotidien” on Wednesday and talked all things “A Complete Unknown,” the biographical film about Bob Dylan which he produces and in which he also stars as the singer-songwriter. And Chalamet revealed he had had something of a mishap as he attended the movie’s London premiere 24 hours earlier.
Timothée Chalamet’s expensive Lime bike
The actor travelled to the event on an electric Lime bike, founded in San Francisco and which began operating in London in 2020. Chalamet even posed with it on the red carpet but, it turns out, had issues knowing where to leave it afterwards.
“There was a traffic jam,” he said, explaining his choice of transportation. After disposing of it at BFI Southbank, the movie theater where the premiere was taking place, he discovered he “actually wasn’t allowed to park there, and I got a £65 fine,” which works out at just over $79.
“Actually, it’s horrible because it was an advert for them.” Taking the e-bike on the red carpet may also have served that purpose, Timothée…
Chalamet was nominated in the Best Actor category for his portrayal of Dylan in the 82nd Golden Globes, which were awarded on January 5, but lost out to Adrien Brody (“The Brutalist”). He could, however, still pick up similar prizes at the British Academy Film Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Critics’ Choice Awards.
