In a surprising social media interaction, Roger Clark, known for his role as Arthur Morgan in "Red Dead Redemption 2," responded to claims made by Lawrence 'Florida Joker' Sullivan. Sullivan, who gained viral fame in 2017 due to his mugshot resembling the popular comic book villain, suggested Rockstar Games owed him money for using his likeness in the recent "Grand Theft Auto 6" (GTA 6) trailer. The trailer mocks events that occurred in Florida, featuring a character with facial tattoos similar to Sullivan’s.
Clark advised Sullivan via TikTok to use the unintended fame to his advantage instead of expecting a payout from the gaming giant Rockstar. Clark explained that Rockstar, well-versed in legalities through decades of experience, is unlikely to engage with such claims. No official response from Rockstar Games has been provided regarding this claim.
"Grand Theft Auto 6" is one of the most anticipated games, set to release in 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This recent buzz around the character resembling the Florida Joker could serve as another talking point for the gaming community excited for GTA 6.
