Why Was Leonardo DiCaprio Searched by Police in Ibiza?
Leonardo DiCaprio may be one of the most famous men in the entire world, but, as his recent run-in with the law proves, no one is too famous to be searched by the police in Ibiza! Leonardo was recently spotted being stopped by the Spanish police alongside his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti. Video obtained by The Daily Mail shows Leo waiting while others in his group are searched by police—but don't worry, this wasn't a targeted investigation. Leonardo, his girlfriend, and friends—including Joel Edgerton and his partner Christine Centenera—all had to submit to pat downs and searches before entering an exclusive party hosted by Patrón and actor Arón Piper. They were hardly the only celebs asked to cooperate with the authorities. According to The Daily Mail, other celebrity attendees included Kendall Jenner and Tobey Maguire. However, Leo may have been the only one able to go mostly incognito—likely thanks to his trademark uniform of a T-shirt and baseball hat. (You know, the same one he wore to attend Jeff Bezos' wedding in June.) A source told Page Six that local police didn't even recognize the Oscar-winner. 'Every single person was patted down and ID'd,' the source explained. 'It's funny, they did a double take and then he went in!' What exactly was Leo doing in Ibiza, you ask? Well, as he gears up for the release of his next film, One Battle After Another, he might be recharging before heading back to work. In a new interview with Esquire (which he completed from a yacht off the coast of Croatia, casual), he revealed that he likes to make the most of his time off-set. 'I take a lot of time off between films,' he explained. 'I do things more sparingly, which means you're anxious to get back to your real life once you've finished filming. Life goes on hold when you're filming. Everything stops and gets put on the back burner in your real life.' Stars, they're just like us!
