As The National ENQUIRER reported earlier, in addition to Miranda — who’s married to Snapchat billionaire Evan Spiegel (left) — actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Forest Whitaker and Casey Affleck have been linked to the shady financier, who reportedly received illicit payments from a government fund set up by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.

Mark Wahlberg and Mad Men hunk Jon Hamm are also being targeted by the feds as they seek to recoup stolen funds and property that were given to A-listers.

“If any of these celebrities knew the money or gifts came from embezzled funds, they could get in trouble,” legal expert Paul Gleason tells The National ENQUIRER. For her part, Kerr apparently knew nothing about the illicit activities behind Low's sparkling gift.

As The ENQUIRER reported earlier, DiCaprio returned $3.2 million in artwork, including a Picasso painting given to him in 2014 by Low — and Marlon Brando’s old Oscar statuette!

DiCaprio starred in the 2013 film "The Wolf of Wall Street," which was produced by the firm Red Granite, a studio founded by Najib’s stepson, Riza Aziz (center, with actress Laurie Holden and his production partner Joey McFarland). The ENQUIRER has learned Aziz has been accused of swiping $3.2 billion from Malaysian taxpayers to finance his lavish lifestyle and movie projects.

Low and Najib have also been connected to the plot. The rights to "The Wolf of Wall Street" have been seized by the U.S. Justice Department, along with another flick produced by Aziz’s company — a 2014 comedy with the perfect name for the scammers involved: "Dumb and Dumber To!" — the flop sequel to the Jim Carrey-Jeff Daniels 1994 hit.
