This year has been nothing less than a roller coaster for the entertainment industry. From the biggest flops to one of the summer blockbusters, here comes the GTA 6 trailer which stunned the fans with its exceptional visuals and engaging characters.

Florida Joker

However, the trailer doesn’t sit well with an individual named “Florida Joker”, whose real name is Lawrence Sullivan. The trailer features incredible musical festivals and scenes straight out of your average Florida headlines. Sullivan has been frustrated with Rockstar Games for including his arrest in the visual. The man is asking almost 5 million from the gaming company.

Florida Joker isn’t someone who has never made headlines before. He went viral for resembling the iconic DC films’ Clown Prince of Crime. Florida Joker’s green hair and face tattoos have often earned him attention. However, this time Sullivan is making headlines for calling out Rockstar Games for using his likeness in the GTA 6 trailer, which made fans go crazy.

Soon after the trailer was released, it broke the previous game’s record and earned millions of views within 24 hours of its release. The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer includes various real-life viral incidents from Florida, as the game is set in Rockstar’s version of Florida. Following the trailer, Florida Joker posted a video on TikTok, accusing the game publisher of stealing his resemblance including the viral mugshot of the man. In his TikTok video, Sullivan said:

“GTA we got to talk, If not, you got to give me like a mil or two. Florida Joker ain’t having that, Y’all took my likeness. Y’all took my life. That’s me. That’s the person they got their inspiration from. That’s me.”

His TikTok video went viral in which Florida Joker is explaining the similarities between the character shown in the trailer and his mugshot incident. As Sullivan previously said, “he won’t stop”, the man has issued another video accusing Rockstar and demanding 5 million dollars. He says:

“We are going to take legal action. I want 5 million dollars now, 5 million dollars. I am getting harassed everywhere I go, the airport the streets, ‘you’re their GTA joker’, ‘you’re their GTA joker’.”

Lawrence Sullivan has threatened Rockstar Games through a lawsuit against them. He also mentioned sending a letter to the game publisher and is expecting a response to it.

Since Florida Joker is demanding 5 million dollars, netizens have started mocking him notably on X (earlier Twitter). The man featured in the trailer has purple hair, unlike Florida Joker’s previous green hair, and he even ignored the distinct tattoos while talking in his TikTok video. However, social media users and GTA fans were quick to spot the defense and they haven’t stepped back from mocking the man.

In 2017, Florida Joker was arrested for allegedly carrying a loaded gun in his pocket without a conceal-and-carry permit. However, he isn’t the only one who ever tried to accuse GTA, as back in 2014, Lindsey Lohan also tried to sue Rockstar Games over a character she believed looked like her.
