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.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
