Timothee Chalamet made a splash this week when he arrived at the London premiere of Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown on a Lime electric bike.
But the Academy Award nominee’s two-wheeled red carpet ride, which went viral on social media, ended up costing him money.
Chalamet revealed the the French talk show Quotidien on Wednesday he was fined £65 (which converts to approximately $79) for incorrectly parking the e-bike on BFI Southbank.
“There was a traffic jam,” Chalamet, who spoke in French, explained why he chose to go to the premiere on an “eco-friendly” bicycle instead of a car with a driver.
Unbeknownst to the actor, he parked the e-bike in an area where he “wasn’t actually allowed to park.”
“They gave me a £65 fine and it was actually horrible because it was actually a kind of advertisement for them,” Chalamet told presenter Yann Romain Barthès.
Timothee Chalamet made a splash this week when he arrived at the London premiere of Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown on a Lime electric bike.
Chalamet’s bike ride to his film’s big premiere in London also earned a parking ticket for professional photographer Aidan Zamiri, who was riding alone with the actor on a Lime electric bike.
On Tuesday, Zamiri shared a video of him and Chalamet crossing Westminster Bridge on the way to the premiere on his Instagram Story, with the accompanying caption: “Favorite mode of transportation.”
He later admitted that Lime, which monitors each trip, had canceled the trip because it was idle “for an unusually long time”, before finally being fined £2:00 (which converts to approximately $2.40) – for “incorrect parking.” .’
Chalamet rode the red carpet on the green bike before finishing his ride via Lime’s mobile app, though he later discovered he, too, received a parking ticket.
The star looked dapper in a black jacket and matching trousers, with a blue printed satin shirt underneath as she posed for photos ahead of the film’s screening.
Missing from the action was his glamorous girlfriend Kylie Jenner, 27.
However, the couple reunited on Wednesday for a romantic evening in Paris, France, after Chalamet attended the Paris premiere of A Complete Unknown.
They held hands as they headed to dinner at Cyril Lignac’s restaurant amid news that the entire Kardashian-Jenner family fled the devastating Los Angeles fires.
