Leonardo DiCaprio Sports A New Mustache At A Lakers Game

The award-winning actor has been stepping out in public again following a successful and exciting awards show season for One Battle After Another, which won Best Picture at the Academy Awards earlier this year.

 

Earlier this week, he put himself on full display by sitting courtside at a playoff game to support the Los Angeles Lakers. He sat alongside his co-star from the Oscar-winning movie, Sean Penn, and actor and director Kevin Connolly. He wore an all-black LA Lakers baseball cap, one of his go-to accessories, as well as a suede jacket, white t-shirt, and dark pants. He attended another game wearing a very similar outfit as well.

 

Throughout the game, he showed off his new mustache, which is dark, trim, and with a slight gap in the middle above the center of his top lip. This certainly isn't the first time he's sported a mustache, especially in the more recent years of his career. However, this one isn't getting the best response on social media.

Social Media Users Bash Leonardo's Mustache Amid Plastic Surgery Allegations

Given that he's been in the spotlight for over three decades, it's expected that the Titanic icon's look will change drastically. In fact, there are some loyal fans of his who think he's only getting better-looking with age. Still, he's been facing his fair share of plastic surgery rumors.

 

As he's posed at public events, award shows, premieres, etc., some people and online plastic surgeons have speculated that Leo might've gotten filler, Botox, or some kind of plastic surgery procedure. While those rumors come and go in waves, some looks he pulls out, like this new mustache, ignite them. People left their opinions on his mustache on social media platforms like Reddit and Instagram, calling it "so weird" and not holding back.

 

"He gives me creep vibes," commented an Instagram user.

 

"That mustache is brutal!" added another.

 

"Ewww on the mustache," wrote a user.

 

"The last pic of Leo reminds me of that Mario Party game where you gotta pinch/stretch Mario's face to make it look like him," joked a Reddit user.
