IT'S ME?! The GTA 6 Florida Man
Animated Short, 0:34. Published 2026-11-11.
Is there a real GTA 6 Florida Man? One Florida man, the "Florida Joker", says the trailer copied his face tattoos.
The cartoon is ours; the story is real. After GTA 6 Trailer 1 (Dec 2023), Lawrence Sullivan said the tattooed guy in it was him and asked Rockstar for $1-2 million (GamesRadar, VGC, HotHardware). Then $5 million (GGRecon, LevelUp), then $10 million (GamesRadar). Rockstar never answered, so he dropped the lawsuit plan and asked for a voice role instead (GameSpot, GamesRadar, Insider Gaming).
GTA has won this fight before: Lindsay Lohan sued over a GTA 5 character in 2014 and lost in 2018; New York's top court said the images were not recognizable as her (GameSpot, Game Informer). Rockstar has never said who the trailer guy is based on. GTA 6 launches Nov 19 2026.
