Leonardo DiCaprio has officially been confirmed as a recent visitor to Marbella after days of speculation set off by a viral image circulating on social media.

Questions quickly spread online as users argued over whether the image was genuine or potentially created using artificial intelligence.

The gossip couldn’t have kicked off at a cooler location, as both Playa Padre and Grupo Mosh are major players on Marbella’s social scene.

The viral chat stemmed from the 10th anniversary celebrations for Grupo Mosh, the hospitality group that has popular venues across the town.
