'Florida Joker' Seemingly Referenced in GTA 6 Trailer Responds: 'GTA, We Gotta Talk'

It seems that you are interested in the recent controversy involving a man who claims that Grand Theft Auto 6 used his likeness without his permission. He is known as the Florida Joker, because he has tattoos on his face that resemble the Joker, a fictional character from the Batman comics and movies. He became famous in 2017 when his mugshot went viral after he was arrested for allegedly pointing a gun at passing cars¹.

The Florida Joker, whose real name is Lawrence Sullivan, has accused Rockstar Games, the developer of GTA 6, of stealing his image and story for one of the characters in the game’s trailer. He has posted several videos on TikTok, demanding that Rockstar pay him $2 million or face a lawsuit². He has also compared his case to that of Lindsay Lohan, who sued Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar, for allegedly using her likeness in GTA 5. However, he claims that his case is different and stronger than Lohan’s, which was dismissed by the court³.

However, not everyone agrees with the Florida Joker’s claims. Some people have pointed out that the character in the GTA 6 trailer does not look exactly like him, and that he is not the only person who has Joker tattoos. Others have suggested that he is trying to capitalize on the popularity of the game and get attention. One of them is Roger Clark, the voice actor of Arthur Morgan, the protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2, another game by Rockstar. Clark posted a video on TikTok, telling the Florida Joker to use the publicity to his advantage, rather than suing Rockstar. He also said that Rockstar has a strong legal team and knows what they can and cannot do². Clark later deleted the video, possibly to avoid further drama.
