Timothee Chalamet made headlines with his unique entrance at the London premiere of his new film, A Complete Unknown, a biopic about Bob Dylan. Instead of arriving in a traditional limousine, Chalamet chose to roll up on a rented Lime E-bike, dressed in a sharp suit. The move turned heads as he casually ended the bike ride on his phone and carried the bike with him for the rest of the event.
