Timothée Chalamet has revealed that he was given a fine for riding a Lime Bike to the UK premiere of A Complete Unknown.Taking place on Tuesday (January 14), the actor turned heads at the event at the BFI for his unconventional mode of transport.

The star, who portrays Bob Dylan in the biopic, arrived at the premiere on a green Lime e-bike, riding it onto the red carpet.Once he arrived, Chalamet got off the bike and ended his ride using his mobile phone.

He then got back on the bike again for a couple more photos at the request of the media.Now, in a recent interview, the star has revealed both why he chose to arrive in that way and how he faced a fine shortly afterwards.

Promoting the biopic on the French talk show Quotidien (as per Variety), he recalled how a failure to park the bike properly led to him being charged £60 by the government.When asked why he chose to arrive via the e-bike, he replied: “It’s ecological!”, before later admitting that it was a last-minute decision as he was stuck in traffic on his way to the premiere.
