Timothée Chalamet surprised his lookalike contestants with a visit

Willy Wonka actor Timothée Chalamet surprised fans when he turned up to a lookalike contest in New York this week.

The competition, organised by YouTuber Anthony Po, offered a $50 (£38) reward to the person who looked the most like world-famous actor Timothée.

Many lookalikes turned up to the competition, only to be blown away when the real-life Timothée made an appearance.

The actor posed for photos with some of the contestants before leaving.

The contest was won by Miles Mitchell from Staten Island, who dressed as Timothée in a Willy Wonka outfit, and threw candy into the crowd from a briefcase.

Meet Ashley Leechin. She is an actor and former nurse who looks a whole lot like pop superstar Taylor Swift.

Ashley said she has been told she looks like the Shake It Off singer for years, but it wasn't until the actor began posting videos to her TikTok that people really took notice.

The resemblance even caught the eye of Taylor Swift herself.

In October 2022, Taylor commented on one of Ashley's videos, saying: "My mom just saw this and said 'she looks like you.'"

The TayTay twin now has more than two million followers on TikTok.

Seeing double? Mancunian Ty Jones is a real-life Ed Sheeran impersonator.

Ty has been mistaken for the singer ever since he was a teenager.

But as a long-time fan of the singer, Ty's resemblance got him a chance to meet the real Ed Sheeran at a concert.

Ty says he now struggles to go to Ed's concerts, as too many people mistake him for the Thinking Out Loud singer.

But it's not just strangers who mistake Ty for Ed Sheeran, Ty's own daughter gets confused sometimes too.

In a video posted to his social media, Ty's daughter looks at pictures of Ed Sheeran and says "Dada". How cute!
