A MAN is demanding Rockstar pay him millions for allegedly using his likeliness in the upcoming GTA 6.

Fans of Grand Theft Auto went wild when they spotted a character that appears to look just like Lawrence Sullivan, commonly known as the Florida Joker for his distinctive face tattoos.

Sullivan’s mugshot went viral in 2017 after Miami police arrested him for allegedly pointing a gun at passing cars.

GTA 6’s fictional location, Leonida, is heavily inspired by Florida and gamers have dissected other possible nods to the US state.

Taking to TikTok, Sullivan accused Rockstar of copying his face.

“GTA, we gotta talk GTA,” he said.

“Or not, you guys gotta give me like a mil or two.

“Y’all took my likeness, y’all took my life, look.”

However, commenters on the platform were quick to point out that this is not the first time someone has tried to sue the company over similarities.

Actress Lindsay Lohan, 37, accused developers of using a likeness of her in Grand Theft Auto V.

In a lawsuit that started in 2014, Lohan accused the producers of modelling her physical features, including clothing, shoulder-length blonde hair and voice.

But a court dismissed the claims in 2016.

Other TikTok commenters also said that DC Comics could sue Sullivan for copying Batman villain Joker for his tattoos.

“Dude literally took the jokers look from DC,” one said.

“u also got the inspiration from Joker….DC gotta Talk to u too,” another wrote.
