Leonardo DiCaprio wore a mask as he partied in New York City recently.

The Hollywood hunk went to watch a theatre production of Sleep No More in Chelsea area of the city on Saturday. The interactive show sees members of the audience wearing masks throughout. While most attendees remove their disguises once the production has finished, Leonardo apparently decided to keep a low-profile.

"The Manderley [bar] is the only spot where guests take off their masks to socialise and have a drink after," a source told New York Post. "But Leo chose to hang out and keep his on the entire time."

The 37-year-old heartthrob seems eager to remain out of the spotlight recently.

He has been spotted looking almost unrecognisable around Hollywood in recent weeks. Leonardo has been sporting a bushy beard, which is reported to be for his role in new movie Django Unchained.

The star was seen at Lure nightclub in Hollywood wearing a baseball cap as he partied with a group of people including Entourage actor Kevin Connolly.
