Timothée Chalamet made a splash when he turned up to the UK premiere of A Complete Unknown by riding a Lime bike on to the red carpet.
However, it has turned out he apparently paid a price for his choice of transportation, as the actor has said he was given a £65 fine for incorrectly parking the bike.
Chalamet revealed the news when speaking on the French talk show Quotidien, explaining that he took the bike rather than a car to the premiere at the BFI Southbank because there was a traffic jam nearby.
He argued that choosing the bike was “ecological”, adding of the fine: “It was horrible, because it was actually kind of an advert for them.”

Lime’s penalty structure runs from £2 to £20, with no penalties for first-time offences.
Representatives for Lambeth council, who are responsible for the area, told the Guardian that they did not issue a fine to Chalamet.

Bank of Dave 2 star Rory Kinnear explains how films tap into same themes as Mr Bates A Real Pain’s Kieran Culkin said awards talk “never even crossed my mind”A Complete Unknown, in which Chalamet plays Bob Dylan, has received strong reviews and great deal of awards buzz. The film was nominated for three awards at this year’s Golden Globes, four Screen Actor’s Guild Awards and six BAFTAs.
While it didn’t win in any of its Golden Globes categories, the other two awards are still pending.
On playing Dylan, Chalamet told Radio Times magazine: “I just immersed myself into the subject matter. In the early ’60s, video material of him is super sparing. So, I went to his birthplace in Duluth [Minnesota], and Hibbing, which is where he grew up.
“I went to Minneapolis, where he went to college briefly. And I spent all that time learning how to play the guitar and harmonica. I had five and a half years to turn over every stone. It became my day and night.”
A Complete Unknown will be available to watch in UK cinemas from Friday 17th January 2025.
