Does Leonardo DiCaprio think nobody will spot him in this mask?
DiCaprio and his pals were in Venice, Italy today – enjoying pizza slices, taking in the sights, and going for a ride in a speedboat. And for whatever reason, the “Great Gatsby” actor decided to put on a bizarre dark mask AND sunglasses on his famous mug while he was out.
We’re not sure why. Maybe he didn’t want to be recognized. Maybe Leo was trying to channel Justin Bieber’s inexplicable gas mask escapades in London earlier this year. Maybe he has a terrible case of acne or sunburn. Or maybe he was trying to remind us of his long forgotten 1998 film, “The Man in the Iron Mask.”
As Page Six revealed, DiCaprio is in Italy to celebrate the Venice Biennale. French luxury -goods mogul François Pinault threw a lavish party celebrating his shows at Venice’s Punta della Dogana and Palazzo Grassi that brought out guests including his son François-Henri and daughter-in-law Salma Hayek, DiCaprio and his wing man Lukas Haas, Damien Hirst, Larry Gagosian, Jean Pigozzi and Goga Ashkenazi.
