Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted wearing a traditional bauta mask while while trying to avoid being spotted on holiday in Venice.

Making the most of the famous Venetian masks, The Great Gatsby star donned the mask in an attempt to go incognito, while sightseeing in the ancient Italian city.

Reminiscent of the metal face cover he wore in his 1998 film The Man in the Iron Mask, Leo decided it was the perfect way to hide from the spotlight.

He also wore a cream newsboy cap and sunglasses over the mask for extra protection.

Even more bizarrely, the actor, 38, didn’t take his mask off to eat and was photographed wrestling a slice of pizza under the full-face mask.
