Timothée Chalamet Fined for Lime Bike Ride to 'A Complete Unknown' Premiere

The actor's eco-friendly red carpet arrival in London drew attention but reportedly resulted in a disputed parking fine.

  • Timothée Chalamet arrived at the London premiere of 'A Complete Unknown' on a Lime e-bike, a choice he described as ecological and practical due to traffic jams.
  • The actor claimed on a French talk show that he received a £65 fine (approximately $79) for improperly parking the bike, though Lime's penalty structure suggests this amount may be exaggerated.
  • Chalamet's bike ride, which included posing with the bike on the red carpet, has been widely discussed as part of his unconventional press tour for the Bob Dylan biopic.
  • The film, directed by James Mangold, has received critical acclaim and awards buzz, with Chalamet's portrayal of Dylan earning him multiple nominations.
  • Discrepancies remain over the source and amount of the fine, with Lime and local authorities unable to confirm the actor's claim.
