Miles Mitchell, who portrayed Timothée’s Willy Wonka role, was the contender who was named “Best Tim” and received a $50 prize. The 21-year-old victor told the Associated Press, “I’m excited and I’m also overwhelmed.” That was her reaction. “There were so many good look-alikes,” he said and added. It was truly a matter of chance.
Just why did the cops show up?
Because it was a “unpermitted costume contest,” the cops showed up, and the organisers were fined $500. “It started off as a silly joke and now it’s turned pandemonium,” Paige Nguyen told the site, speaking on behalf of the event’s founder, YouTube sensation Anthony Po. Despite police efforts to disperse the throng, one of the Timothée doppelganger contestants reportedly was arrested.
