MARY REICHARD, HOST: It’s NYC so not that unusual, but movie characters were milling about Washington Park on Sunday. The occasion? A celebrity look-alike contest to see who came closest to actor Timothy Chalamet’s Willy Wonka, or Dune character, or Henry V, or sundry other roles he played.
As the judges and crowd mused over the many look-alikes, suddenly, hey wait!
THAT guy IS Timothy Chalamet!
His appearance was a surprise. But thousands had shown up for the event, which was unauthorized, so police intervened and an adjustment had to be made.
MAN: Guys, we’re gonna make a little bit of a pilgrimage across the street…
MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Lured across the street by chocolate, perhaps.
REICHARD: It’s The World and Everything in It.
