\u2018Florida Joker\u2019 demands millions from Rockstar for using his \u201clikeness\u201d in GTA 6 Lawrence Sullivan, known as the real-life \u2018Florida Joker\u2019, is demanding millions of dollars from Rockstar for using his \u201clikeness\u201d in the GTA 6 trailer. After a decade since the last entry in the series, on December 4 gamers finally got their long-awaited first look at the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. The GTA 6 trailer was released ahead of plan after it was leaked online forcing Rockstar to scramble and officially release it themselves as the internet was in chaos. Fans have analyzed the trailer frame by frame and pointed out many easter eggs, such as references to past GTA games, real-life landmarks, memes, and more. One part of the GTA 6 trailer appears to reference the infamous criminal \u2018Florida Joker\u2019 \u2014 who in 2022 was arrested for a warrant for a concealed-carry offense. Quickly, the case went viral across social media, as the man\u2019s mugshot displaying his facial tattoos rather resembled the notorious DC Comics villain. Florida Joker wants millions from Rockstar Games Quickly, \u2018Florida Joker\u2019, whose real name is Lawrence Sullivan, called out the Rockstar developers, claiming they were inspired by him. \u201cGTA, we gotta talk,\u201d he stated on the situation. Now, on December 8, Sullivan has reacted again, demanding that Rockstar pay him for using his \u201clikeness.\u201d \u201cEverybody saying I\u2019m hallucinating, that I\u2019m not the joker from GTA 6, you\u2019re out your god damn nuggets,\u201d he said in a TikTok post. \u201cThat\u2019s me. That\u2019s the person they got the inspiration from. You see that?\u201d Sullivan showed a side-by-side comparison of the in-game version of \u201chimself\u201d and his mugshot that went viral across the internet. \u201cThat\u2019s me. GTA, we got to talk.\u201d He added: \u201cOr not, you guys give me a [million] or two. So what\u2019s up? Holla at me GTA, Rockstar Entertainment, Rockstar Games. Rockstar enterprise. Florida Joker ain\u2019t having that. Y\u2019all took my likeness. Y\u2019all took my life.\u201d While not much is known about GTA 6\u2019s setting, we do know the game takes place in the fictional state of Leonida, evidently a play on Florida. However, while the Florida Joker is unpleased with seemingly being part of the game, some are chuffed, to say the least, with one fan in disbelief as they spotted their \u201cdoppelganger\u201d in the GTA 6 trailer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
