The 'detective' at the Louvre turned out to be a 15-year-old schoolboy.

      As the German magazine Der Spiegel found, the mysterious young man is not a detective at all but a 15-year-old schoolboy from France named Pedro Elias Garson Delvo, Kommersant reports.

      The photo went viral: users wrote that he was "the most detective-looking detective," and some even concluded that the image had been generated by an AI. But the photographer who was shooting at the Louvre that day confirmed to The New York Times that the shot is genuine.

      Pedro himself told reporters that he had simply come to Paris with his mother — they were planning to visit the museum, not knowing it had been closed after a robbery. The boy admitted that he loves classic style and often dresses that way in everyday life. His social media indeed contains many photos of him posing in suits and hats in the style of the 1940s.

The 'detective' at the Louvre turned out to be a 15-year-old schoolboy.

After the October robbery at the Louvre, a photograph circulated on social media: police were standing next to the museum, and a young man in a three-piece suit, wearing a hat and carrying an umbrella, walked past them — as if he were the hero of an old detective film.
