A Timothee Chalamet press tour is something to behold, but the one promoting the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, has been something to behold.

The hijinks haven’t been consequence-free, as he was recently slapped with a £65 fine for riding a Lime bike to its London premiere of the James Mangold film.

The actor took the well-trodden path of picking up one of the Uber-owned bicycles to get to his destination on time to beat the traffic jam.
