Timothée Chalamet Ropes in His Lookalikes for Double Duty on ‘SNL’

Chalamets assemble!

Ahead of his first Saturday Night Live gig as both host and musical guest, A Complete Unknown star Timothée Chalamet hilariously announced his plans to take on the grueling task with a little help from his friendly neighborhood lookalikes.

In a promotional video released Wednesday, an impassioned Chalamet tells the folks at SNL, “I’ve never done this before. I’m having to be SNL host and musical guest in the same week so it’s a lot of work, and I want to focus on the songs.

“So I brought in some help to cover all the hosting duties,” he continues, prompting a Marvel-worthy zoom out of his sidekicks, who all participated in a viral Chalamet lookalike competition in October last year.

The Dune star proceeds to check off his SNL to-do list with the help of his Chalamet minions, from working on his monologue to even filling in his shoes for an interview with late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon.

Chalamet’s lookalike contest was initially held in Manhattan’s Washington Square Park on Oct. 27 last year and was organized by content creator Anthony Po, who had spent months anonymously hanging fliers across the city beckoning New York’s finest Chalamet-ians to join.

The actor himself even showed up at the event, and its success swiftly sparked a series of replicas across the country, from a Dev Patel lookalike contest in San Francisco to a Jeremy Allen White one in Chicago.
