Timothée Chalamet, known for his striking performances and unique charm, recently made headlines for his unconventional arrival at the red carpet premiere of his Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown. The actor, embodying the free spirit of the legendary musician, opted to bike to the event on a rented electric Lime bike.
The decision to hop on two wheels came out of necessity. Chalamet revealed during an interview on the French show Quotidien that he faced a London traffic jam and wanted to ensure he made it on time. However, his eco-friendly gesture came at a cost. The actor received a £65 fine (about $79.53) for improperly parking the bike after his hurried arrival.
"It was horrible because it was actually kind of an advert for [the Lime company]," Chalamet joked, acknowledging the irony of the situation. The incident highlighted the importance of proper bike parking—a lesson learned the hard way by the Call Me by Your Name star.
Chalamet's effort to embrace sustainability aligns with modern environmental consciousness, though his misstep reminds us all that even small actions carry responsibilities. As Dylan once said, "The times they are a-changin'," and so, it seems, are Chalamet's biking habits.
