The Great Gatsby star was attending an exclusive party with his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, at a private villa on August 13, 2025. The Spanish police stationed outside the venue had to screen all attendees, regardless of their status, as part of strict safety protocols.

Leonardo DiCaprio, dressed in a baseball cap, shorts, and a casual T-shirt, blended into the crowd and was stopped by police for a routine pat-down and ID check. At first, the officers didn’t recognize the Shutter Island actor but did a quick double-take and realized who he was. The funny moment was caught on camera and quickly went viral, delighting fans and media alike.

In the viral video, a woman can be heard in the background, saying:

“They are searching me full-on right now.”

The Wolf of Wall Street actor is no stranger to Ibiza, having vacationed in Spain many times over the years. After receiving three Golden Globes, an Oscar for The Revenant, and numerous nominations, DiCaprio is now preparing for his much-awaited next movie, One Battle After Another.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti were spotted on Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's luxurious mega yacht off the coast of Ibiza earlier this month, and only a few weeks had passed since the pair had been at Bezos and Sánchez's lavish June wedding in Venice, Italy, which attracted international attention due to its star-studded guest list.

During the festivities, Ceretti candidly revealed she suffered a wardrobe mishap, tearing her vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress. The model laughed off the incident, giving the glittering festivities a more relatable touch rather than ruining the evening. It was just another episode in DiCaprio's Mediterranean vacation that made headlines.
