Timothée Chalamet sent fans into a frenzy when he arrived at the UK premiere of A Complete Unknown on a Lime bike on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old actor caused a sensation on the Internet thanks to his choice of transportation.
A third claimed: ‘Timothée Chalamet knows how to ride a bike >>>>>.’
“HELP I LOVE HIM,” wrote another, while an X user commented: “His press run has convinced me to watch that stupid movie.”
One fan couldn’t help but reference another current movie release when he tweeted, “Okay, Wicked Witch of the West.”
Meanwhile, others shared their belief that Timothée could have been inspired by former One Direction singer Harry Styles.
The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker is known for choosing to ride a Lime bike as he tours London, much to the delight of his avid fans.
“Timothée arriving at the premiere on the Lime Bike is very Harry Styles of him,” one fan tweeted.
Another commented: “You look like Harry Styles in this light, we love it.”
“Try not to say Harrycore,” one X user joked, while another wrote: “Harry, you have competition.”

The actor, who plays the Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door hitmaker, rode the red carpet on the green bike before successfully finishing his ride via his mobile phone.
Her co-star Monica Barbaro put on a very glamorous display in a low-cut, figure-hugging black dress as she arrived at the lavish event, which leading lady Elle Fanning missed.
Monica, 34, who plays Joan Baez in the new film, wowed as she posed up a storm on the red carpet.
The film focuses on Dylan’s early career, his transition from folk to rock, and his performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, with Timothée being praised for his performance.
It comes after Timothée revealed he had “five years of singing practice” before his role as Bob Dylan in the biopic.
Appearing on The Graham Norton Show, he admitted that he didn’t know much about Bob before, but is now “deeply passionate” about his cultural impact.
Timothée said: “I had a lot of time to practice because we had to make the film five and a half years ago, then Covid came and then the actors’ strike, so I have years to prepare.”
Meanwhile, others shared their belief that Timothée could have been inspired by former One Direction singer Harry Styles.

“I was confident in singing and when we came to make the movie I wanted to sing and play the songs live.”
He added, “I didn’t know much about Dylan, but now, after working on it for so long, I really worship at Bob’s church.”
‘I am deeply passionate about this man and his work. My friends are tired of hearing me talk about him ad nauseum.
“This man has had a huge impact on culture and this film and this role are the ones I am most proud of.”
The Oscar nominee, who had no encounter with the hitmaker before playing him, has been praised by critics for saving the film, despite its flaws.
Timothée continued: “Bob is a mysterious and elusive figure and a man of few words, so I never had the chance to meet him.
“I would like to, but I have a lot of respect because it is true to his character that I would never get to know him.”
