Scratch Me If You Can! Leonardo DiCaprio sports bushy beard and can't resist taking care of an itch while on stroll in Los Angeles

He is currently sporting a ponytail and an admirably bushy beard.

And hairy Leonardo DiCaprio had to take care of an occupational hazard of having so much hair when he was caught scratching his head as he sauntered around Los Angeles on Monday. 

The 40-year-old certainly did not look like one of the world's biggest movie stars as he attended the itch while looking at his mobile phone in the trendy Larchmont Village area of the city.

The Titanic star was looked lean and muscular in a blue T-shirt, baggy shorts and trendy nautical-style shoes, which is rather appropriate, as Leo is a noted sailor.

The jet-setting environmentalist rounded off his look with a trendy baseball cap and celebrity standard issue aviator sunglasses

Of course no celebrity would be complete without their entourage, and the actor was accompanied by a trio of similarly dressed strapping young men.

Leo was probably enjoying being in their company after spending lots of quality time with his 24-year-old model squeeze Kelly Rohrbach recently. 

A month ago, they took a romantic bike ride together through Manhattan after returning from a break together in the Turks and Caicos Islands last month.

They were spotted sharing a kiss as they pedaled together through the city streets, as low-key Leo sported a beard.

On May 31, the couple were seen dining inside the back room at Nick & Toni's restaurant in East Hampton.
