Leonardo Di Caprio is a regular but has not been seen so far except, learns the Mirror, for one low-key afternoon at the iconic Hotel Martinez11:45, 20 May 2026Exclusive by Shelley Spadoni in Cannes‌He may be one of the most recognisable actors in the world but Leonardo DiCaprio has largely evaded detection during his reported sojourn at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.‌The One Battle After Another star, 51, a regular at the French festival, often stays on luxury chartered superyachts anchored in the Bay of Cannes to maintain a low profile, or high-end suites at elite locations such as the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc.‌A master of disguise when he hits the chic Southern French town (and when he is cornered on a red carpet some of his encounters have been hilariously awkward), he seems to have excelled his own talents this year, as nobody seems to have seen him at all as the two-week festival draws to a close.‌He has, however, enjoyed a recent low-key afternoon at the famous celebrity haunt, The Hotel Martinez, which is one of the key filming locations for the much-anticipated new season of HBO’s The White Lotus.A bartender at its bar - which had a big makeover last year and is now in the style of a high-end, red-lit, speakeasy - shared his encounter with the Mirror on Tuesday, adding that Fast and Furious star Michelle Rodriguez' was currently staying at the exclusive hotel.“Leo keeps a very, very low profile when he’s here”, they told us. “He’s a massive star and understandably, very private. He just doesn’t want to be mobbed when he’s out for a drink or two. But I did rustle up some cocktails for him here in the bar a few days ago.”‌They added: “He was sitting in a corner with a couple of very beautiful women. They were deep in conversation as they enjoyed some drinks and he was clearly having a great time.“He’s low-key as he doesn't want to be bothered, but he’s not quiet! I’ve met him a few times now. He’s also a big character, we had some laughs when I brought drinks to his table. Leo’s a great guy.”‌Famed for going to extreme lengths to stay off the radar when he’s attending high-profile events, DiCaprio, who has been dating Italian supermodel Vittoria Ceretti since 2023, has been spotted in various versions of the baseball cap, hoodie and sunglasses ensemble in an effort to evade the paps.He chooses his public appearances wisely - and a source told the Mirror that he is rumoured to be one of the A-listers attending an event on Wednesday night hosted by Time magazine, called Bee Wise” Bring the Bees Back.It would certainly chime with his passion for the planet. The LA-born star - who has been nominated for an Academy Award seven times, winning in 2016 for his gruelling survival performance in The Revenant - has for decades been one of Hollywood’s loudest environmental activists, dedicating over $100million in grants to fight climate change and protect biodiversity.Article continues belowDiCaprio has spent the spring filming in the Czech Republic for regular collaborator Martin Scorsese’s upcoming thriller What Happens at Night, with co-star Jennifer Lawrence.
