He famously portrayed King Louis XIV and his secret twin in The Man With The Iron Mask.

And Leonardo DiCaprio appeared to be feeling some nostalgia for the 1998 film in Venice on Friday.

Leonardo decided a disguise was the perfect way for him to walk around the romantic Italian town without being recognised by tourists.

But rather than choose a beautifully decorated mask, or even an ornate one of any kind, the star stuck to a masculine look with a simple black design.

He was seen expertly eating a large slice of pizza while only having to move his façade slightly on the streets of the floating city.
