Timothee Chalamet impressed this week when he arrived at the London premiere of the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown on a Lime electric bicycle.
But the Academy Award nominee’s two-wheeled red carpet ride — which went viral on social media — ultimately cost him dearly.
Chalamet revealed on the French chat show Quotidien on Wednesday he was fined £65 (which works out to about $79) for incorrectly parking the e-bike at BFI Southbank.
“There was a traffic jam,” said Chalamet, speaking in French, about his reason for choosing to bring an “ecological” bicycle to the premiere instead of a car with a driver.
Without the actor knowing, he parked the e-bike in a place where he was ‘not actually allowed to park’.
“I was fined £65 and actually it was terrible because it was actually a kind of advertisement for them,” Chalamet told presenter Yann Romain Barthès.

Chalamet’s cycle path to the big London premiere of his film also earned a parking fine for professional photographer Aidan Zamiri, who rode alone with the actor on a Lime e-bike.
On Tuesday, Zamiri shared a video of him and Chalamet driving over Westminster Bridge on the way to the premiere on his Instagram Story, with the accompanying caption: “Favorite mode of transportation.”
He later admitted that the ride was terminated by Lime – who monitor every trip – because he was inactive for an “unusually long time”, before eventually being fined £2:00 (which works out to around $2.40) – for ‘improper parking’. .’
Chalamet rode the red carpet on the green bike before ending his ride via Lime’s mobile app, although he later discovered he too had committed a parking violation.
The star looked dapper in a black blazer and matching trousers, with a blue patterned satin shirt underneath as he posed for photos ahead of the film’s screening.
Missing from the action was his glamorous girlfriend Kylie Jenner, 27.
However, the couple reunited for a romantic night out in Paris, France, on Wednesday after Chalamet attended the Paris premiere of A Complete Unknown.
They held hands as they went for dinner at Cyril Lignac’s restaurant, amid news that the Kardashian-Jenner family had all fled the devastating fires in Los Angeles.

Jenner and Chalamet’s last public outing together was just two weeks ago, after they enjoyed a loved-up date night to the Golden Globes in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 5.
Their romantic getaway to the City of Love also comes amid major relationship news.
Jenner believes boyfriend Chalamet is “the one,” according to an insider Page six.
The mother of two “feels like Timothee is so different from any of her other exes she has dated in the past,” adding that she has “never felt this way about anyone else,” according to the source.
The insider said Kylie “definitely sees a future with him.”
Their nearly two-year relationship has gone from strength to strength, with the couple recently enjoying a PDA-filled date night to the Golden Globes on January 5.
This was the second time Timothee invited Kylie as his plus one to the Golden Globe Awards – as she also attended with him last year on Sunday, January 7, 2024.
Kylie dazzled in a silver backless dress that showed off her incredible figure. The gown also had a very low neckline, exposing her ample cleavage.
Chalamet also accidentally landed his photographer in hot water on Tuesday night after arriving at his latest film premiere on a Lime bike.
The photographer later admitted that the ride was terminated by Lime – which monitors every trip – for being inactive for an “unusually long time”, before eventually being fined £2:00 (which works out to around $2.40 ) for ‘improper parking’. ‘
Chalamet plays folk singer Bob Dylan in the biopic, which hits cinemas in Britain on Friday, January 17.
Kylie wore a vintage Versace dress from the 1999 collection, previously worn by actress Elizabeth Hurley to the CFDAs on June 2, 1999.
Timothee and Kylie had a sweet PDA moment during their date night at the Globes.
The lovebirds shared a passionate kiss at the event, with Kylie cradling his face.
She caused up a storm with Timothee’s A Complete Unknown castmates Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro at their table.
Kylie and Timothee are said to have rekindled a romance after they both attended Jean-Paul Gaultier’s fashion show on January 25, 2023.
The couple had been quietly dating since early April 2023, which was first revealed by gossip account DeuxMoi.
A tipster had revealed that they were dating: ”Anon pls!! I’ve been told by multiple sources that Timmy C has a new girl…Kylie Jenner.”
In mid-April 2023, after news of their coupling broke, Kylie’s Range Rover was spotted in Timothee’s driveway of his Beverly Hills home.
While Chalamet’s (left on January 15) girlfriend Kylie Jenner (right in October 2024) skipped his recent A Complete Unknown premieres, the couple reunited in Paris, France on Wednesday evening.

A day later, Timothee jumped into Kylie’s SUV after attending an art show in Santa Monica, while her security guard jumped into his car and drove away, according to TMZ.
They arrived at Tito’s Tacos in LA and her security team went to pick up food for them and bring it to the car.
That same month, People’s source reported that the stars were “hanging out and getting to know each other with another insider,” revealing that they “hang out every week” but that it’s “not serious.”
‘She gets to know him. Kylie is having fun. After years of back and forth with Travis [Scott]”She just wants to date without any pressure,” their source said.
They were never seen together in public until the Beyoncé concert.
In early August 2023, a false rumor circulated that the actor had ‘dumped’ her; TMZ confirmed that they were still together and that the rumor was untrue.
Their first public sighting took place on Monday, September 4, 2023 at Beyonce’s final concert in LA, which took place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA.

A week later, she packed on the PDA at the US Open with her boyfriend Timothee.
