Timothee Chalamet has sparked pandemonium among screaming fans in New York by unexpectedly showing up to his own lookalike contest. 

Flanked by bodyguards, the actor posed for photographs with his curly-haired doppelgangers – some of whom had dressed as his characters, including Willy Wonka and Paul Atreides from Dune. 

At times, adoring fans accidentally heaped their attention on the look-alikes, apparently thinking they were face-to-face with the real Chalamet. 

The frenzied event, advertised on flyers around New York, was one of several look-alike competitions hosted by YouTube personality Anthony Po. 

As word spread on social media, thousands of people RSVP’d to the competition, which promised $50 for the winner.
