After many years of waiting, GTA 6 has finally gotten the official trailer that everyone has been waiting for. There are a lot of details and memes in there, especially from the famous “Florida Man”. But one of these men now wants money from Rockstar.
This is the trailer:
This is what the “Florida Joker” says: The model for this scene is supposedly a court case from Florida in 2017. In the “mugshot” you can see the man’s face decorated with tattoos, including “ripped” cheeks and a Joker lettering on his forehead. He calls himself the “Miami Joker” or “Florida Joker”.
The man now claims on TikTok that Rockstar used his viral image as a model for a scene from the trailer for GTA 6. After an argument with other users on social media, there was even a second video.
There, the Florida Joker compares the scene directly to an image from his trial and says:
For anyone who thinks I’m hallucinating […] that’s me. That’s the person they get inspiration from. Do you see that? GTA, we need to talk […] You have to give me a million or two. […] The Florida Joker has had enough. You have taken my image, you have taken my life.

“Lindsay Lohan already tried that and failed”
It is unclear whether there will actually be a lawsuit. However, it is unlikely that the man will actually get any money, as legal expert Rob Freund explains on X.
During a discussion, when asked what the chances are for the man, he answers: “Rather bad. Lindsay Lohan tried the same thing against Rockstar and lost.” The dispute was about a supposed similarity and only ended after 5 years (via GameStar).
In response to the comment that this time it wasn’t a similarity, but an exact copy, Freund said: that’s not true. The tattoos are different, the face is different and the hair is different. Rockstar will simply claim that this is just another guy with facial tattoos and that the studio will succeed.
The trailer itself is causing a lot of joy among fans – even if they doubt that GTA 6 will really look as good as promised. But an ex-developer says that this will actually be the case:
