Leonardo DiCaprio continued his attempts to pass unrecognised as he departed Venice on Sunday morning, following Saturday night’s final party of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez‘s wedding extravaganza.
The movie star, 50, was joined by his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, at the swanky three-day celebration, with the couple making their exit alongside fellow actor Orlando Bloom.
And despite being one of Hollywood’s most famous leading men, Leo attempted to keep a low profile by covering his face throughout his journey to the airport.
Climbing into the waiting Venetian water taxi, he hid beneath his trademark low sitting baseball cap and for extra concealment, pulled up his hooded jumper over his head.
In contrast, his girlfriend of two years, Vittoria, put on a leggy display in a fashionable summer minidress, as she received a helping hand onto the boat.
As Leo disappeared to the lower decks, the model remained stood up at the back of the boat and chatted to Orlando as they sped towards the mainland.

Orlando flashed a wide grin as he climbed aboard, wearing a button-up shirt left open to reveal a white vest underneath and several pendant necklaces.
Hollywood’s newest bachelor embraced his new single status on the Italian getaway, coming just after news broke that he and his fiancée Katy Perry, 40, had called off their engagement.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star was spotted in the back of a Venetian water taxi with a woman on Thursday, who was later revealed to be Jamie Mizrahi, 36, who was actually a former stylist for Katy and Meghan Markle.
Orlando was also spotted enjoying a Venetian brunch the following morning and sipping on cocktails poolside with celebrity pals Leo and Tom Brady during a boys’ day out.
Described as the ‘wedding of a century,’ Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, exchanged vows in front of nearly 200 VIPs on San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice, Italy, on Friday.
The nuptials began on Thursday with the first of three days of parties in Venice, followed by the intimate ceremony on Friday and then a star-studded rave.
Around 200 of the world’s wealthiest people were gathering for a final night’s fun, and many of the VIP guests were spotted bidding goodbye to the Italian city the following morning, including Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates.
The Amazon founder, worth £177billion, took over the Italian city for a wedding estimated to have cost up to £40million, small change for the world’s third richest man.

But 700 demonstrators gathered at Santa Lucia railway station carrying protest banners and waving inflatable crocodiles.
The demo was organised by the No Space For Bezos group, with some carrying Amazon boxes with the words: ‘Ordered, Shipped, Delivered, Rejected.’
While insiders revealed that the billionaire and journalist were already legally married, with a source closely connected to the organisation of the week’s events saying: ‘They have been married for at least a month, more than a month.
‘The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.’
The source added: ‘When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married. There is no application for a wedding license from the couple because it was not required.
‘Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding. Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning.’
The source added that Bezos had personally confirmed that he and Sanchez – who met when both were married to other people – are already legally married, and that they had also signed a pre-nuptial agreement to protect his $244 billion fortune.
The wedding, held two years after Bezos proposed to Sanchez aboard his $500million superyacht, was described as ‘extremely intimate’ with a strict no-phone policy – with around 70 of the 200 guests being family members.

The only images that emerged of the nuptials came via Sanchez’s official Instagram account – and photos of guests leaving the night-time celebrations were scarce.
She revealed to Vogue her wedding dress was inspired by the high-necked lace wedding dress Sophia Loren wore to marry Cary Grant in the 1958 film Houseboat.
She also revealed that Bezos had begged to see her in the gown, but as is tradition for most brides, she explained that she wasn’t going to let him lay his eyes upon it until the big day.
‘I almost gave in,’ she admitted. ‘But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can’t wait to see his face.’
This was not the only tradition the couple stuck with: Sanchez also donned ‘something borrowed’ for the ceremony – a pair of Dolce earrings.
And she explained to Vogue that her ‘something blue’ was from her Blue Origin flight, revealing she carried a secret souvenir up in the rocket so she could bring it back for Bezos ‘because it was one of the most profound experiences I’ve had in my life.’
Sánchez went on: ‘Seeing Earth from space, I came down and I couldn’t describe it. It was the greatest experience I’ve ever had’.
The Bezos couple are thought to have splashed out a staggering $20million on their multiple-day extravagant wedding bash.

As guests arrived at the reception on Friday, they were welcomed by the stirring sounds of trumpets, violins, and a soulful Gospel choir.
That same choir returned to belt out Whitney Houston’s Higher Love right after the couple exchanged their vows, with guests cheering and singing along during the heartfelt moment.
Opera singer Matteo Bocelli kicked off the wedding reception with a touching tribute, opening his set with the timeless Elvis Presley classic I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You.
The son of renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli stepped in since his father was tied up with concerts in southern Italy over the weekend.
