Actor told French chat show that he was charged a sum of £65. Timothee Chalamet has said he received a fine after he arrived at the London premiere of his new movie, A Complete Unknown, on an e-bike. The 29-year-old actor pulled up to the red carpet for the Bob Dylan biopic on Tuesday (14 January), not in a chauffeured car, but instead arrived on a mud-covered Lime bike.

However, that moment reportedly cost the actor a hefty fine after he parked the bike incorrectly. Speaking on the French chat show Quotidien on Wednesday, Chalamet revealed that he received a £65 fine for parking the bike in a no parking zone. Chalamet, who spoke to host Yann Romain Barthès in French, said he opted for the two-wheel mode of transport due to a traffic jam, which meant that he could have been late.
“I got a £65 fine and actually it was horrible because it was actually kind of an advert for them,” he said of the e-bike. Professional photographer Aidan Zamiri, who rode along with the actor on another Lime bike, said he also received a parking fine.
On Tuesday, Zamiri shared a video of himself and Chalamet riding across Westminster Bridge en route to the premiere on his Instagram Story, writing in the caption: “Favourite mode of transport.” However, Zamiri was only charged £2 for “incorrect parking”, according to a screenshot he shared on his Instagram story.
