Timothée Chalamet Fined for Bike Parking

Timothée Chalamet made headlines by arriving at the London premiere of his new film 'A Complete Unknown' on a Lime electric bike, a choice he made to avoid traffic. However, his eco-friendly decision resulted in a £65 fine for parking the bike incorrectly at BFI Southbank. Speaking on the French talk show 'Quotidien', Chalamet explained that while he intended to make a statement about sustainability, his main motivation was practicality due to the traffic jam. The ride went viral on social media, further boosting the film's visibility, although it did not come without consequences, as a photographer accompanying him also received a parking fine. Despite the mishap, Chalamet's unconventional arrival was seen as a successful publicity stunt ahead of the film's release, which portrays the early life of music icon Bob Dylan. The incident sparked discussions about celebrity transportation choices and the potential for publicity in unexpected moments.
