Ever heard of "Celebrity No. 6"? A fabric featuring a collage of celebrities has been making the rounds online, and the collage features rotoscoped images of popular celebrities and models artfully placed together in a neat mosaic.

For the most part, all of the celebrities in the collage are easily identifiable, with some folks even discerning where the exact pictures used in the collage came from. For several years, folks have not been able to figure out who one of the celebrities is. They are now referred to as Celebrity No. 6.

Celebrity No. 6 has finally been identified!

Though the mystery behind Celebrity No. 6 was kicked off years ago (as early as 2020 when the world didn't have much else going on), the identity of the elusive star wasn't revealed until September 2024. The image is just like any other piece of the celeb mosaic, featuring a mostly frontward-facing profile of a person with shoulder-length hair loosely wearing what looks to be a button-down shirt.

And now, we know that the photo depicts none other than Spanish model Leticia Sardá.

The revelation was made by a highly dedicated Reddit detective who goes by the user u/IndigoRoom and laid out their findings on the Celebrity No. 6 subreddit.

"A few days ago, someone mentioned the name of Leticia Sardá in this Reddit sharing a cover of a magazine that depicted a woman very similar to Celebrity No. 6. ... Looking around a bit, I found the name of Leandre Escorsell, the alleged photographer of that cover. I also found his email and sent him [an] email asking if he recognized the photo. He confirmed that and, after a few days, he sent me the original picture."

The post further details the email communication between the Reddit user and the alleged photographer, who has provided the OG image used in the fabric collage. Finally!

Before this discovery, one of the strongest and most popular theories named actor River Phoenix as the unknown celebrity, but many were dubious on it. The collage features actors who were popular in the early 2000s, and River died in 1993.

Other guesses included well-known actors like Michelle Pfeiffer, Daniel Dae Kim, and Angelina Jolie. Deep cuts called upon Japanese actor Yuki Iito and model Liliana Dominguez, among others.
