Meet 3 Timothée Chalamet doppelgängers entering NYC’s mysterious look-alike contest: ‘Everybody’s talking about it — it’s a big deal’

Would you call them by his name?
Throngs of lanky, mop-topped boys — and their admirers — will converge in NYC from near and far this weekend for a decidedly outré event: a Timothée Chalamet look-alike competition with a $50 prize for his most convincing, doe-eyed doppelgänger.
London student Octave Cusinberche, 22, is considering flying in from England — if his university finals go well this week.
“The whole thing is pretty funny,” he told The Post. “Like, why not?”
The French, curly-haired brunette often gets told that he looks like Chalamet, so Cusinberche hopes he has that certain je ne sais quoi evoked by the 28-year-old “Call Me By Your Name” heartthrob.
Though he’s not yet bought a plane ticket, he said that many people across the pond have been talking about the event, set for 1 p.m. Sunday at Washington Square Park’s famed arch.
