GTA 6 fan claims Rockstar used his likeness for Jason's character
A Twitter user by the name of Drew Spacely has turned viral for accusing Rockstar Games of using his actual-life image, specifically facial scars, of an old mugshot as inspiration for Jason, one of the main characters in GTA 6.
Although he is not threatening to sue, Spacely's side-by-side comparisons and sympathetic tweets have raised eyebrows among the GTA community.
Fan thinks GTA 6's Jason has his scars and facial features
Drew Spacely has tweeted a number of times commenting on how visually similar to his character is the character
"Jason"
that appears in the GTA 6 trailers. He brought attention to distinctive facial scars above his eyebrow and on his jawline, those he asserts are identical to the ones shown on Jason in Rockstar's promotional posters and gameplay videos.

Within a single tweet, he posted,
"Even the first animation has reference to my scar,"
along with a collage of his own picture and pictures from the trailer with red circles surrounding similar marks. He further added,
"I have something that you will never ever have tho! And that's the truth, my face, and my story."
Despite all that, Drew was adamant that he does not bear any ill feelings toward Rockstar. In an even newer post, he stated,
"I also just want to announce right now that I will not be seeking any sort of money or legal action against Rockstar Games.

Community reaction, Rockstar's silence, and prior similar claims
The wider GTA community is responding with interest and speculation, but Rockstar Games has yet to comment on Spacely's allegations. While there are fans who observe the similarity, others perceive it as a coincidence, as the character's appearance could be a representation of typical archetypes.
This is not the first time Rockstar has encountered likeness claims. Late in 2023, the
"Florida Joker"
claimed that his tattooed mugshot had inspired a GTA 6 NPC.
Years previously, Lindsay Lohan's claim against Rockstar over a GTA V character was eventually dismissed by the courts.
Though there's no official report connecting Drew Spacely to GTA 6's Jason, his assertions have raised fans' interest. Whether coincidence or tacit influence, Drew has explicitly stated he's just a huge fan thrilled about the game. As the popularity for GTA 6 increases, tales like these add to the mystery.

I've let go, I let people talk, says Amol Parashar
Amol Parashar is gaining attention for his roles and online presence. The actor shares insights on creating a safe space for emotional expression, choosing roles & more (Image: Oshwin Kadhao) Amol Parashar 's rise has been anything but conventional. The most surprising part is what's happening off-screen. If you've scrolled through his Instagram lately, you'll know it's a vibe. Comments, responses, appreciation, and a striking amount of love. At 38, the actor is not just attracting attention for his roles but also for the respectful, emotionally open space he seems to foster online. 'It's almost like my Instagram has become a safe space,' he says, adding, 'Historically, women haven't been allowed to express desire. Men haven't been allowed to express grief. If I can help facilitate that expression without exploiting it, that's meaningful.' Does he worry about the adoration fading away? '200 comments will become 100. But as long as people feel safe and respected, I'm happy to be that space, women, men, anyone in between,' shares Amol. Excerpts from our chat with the actor. It's almost like my Instagram has become a safe space. Historically, women haven't been allowed to express desire. Men haven't been allowed to express grief. If I can help facilitate that expression without exploiting it, that's meaningful. Amol Parashar 'I don't want to be boxed in by that label' Over the years, Amol has earned a particular kind of fan base, one that sees him as thoughtful, layered, and charmingly grounded. The term that often gets attached to his name? A 'thinking woman's actor'. 'I don't think of it as limiting, but I try not to let it define what I do. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Vietnam: Giá nhà container chưa bán có thể khiến bạn bất ngờ (Xem ngay) Nomad's Notebook Nhấp vào đây Undo I enjoy playing flawed people. That's more fun,' says Amol. He recalls a recent conversation with a filmmaker friend who offered him a morally ambiguous role. His thoughts? 'Make him (the character) a completely bad person. That serves the story better. Why dilute it just to protect how people see me?' He also credits social media with giving actors more freedom to explore morally grey characters. 'Earlier, actors avoided playing unlikable characters because people would start believing that's who they were in real life. Now people know who I am. I like it when someone says, 'I didn't expect that from you.' That's a win,' adds Amol. Amol Parashar, who will be performing his solo act, Besharam Aadmi on the 5th of July in Pune, shared insights on getting into a character, social media and more (Image: Oshwin Kadhao) 'Sometimes the mood of the characters stays for a bit' Amol's laid-back presence online is mirrored in how he works on set - quietly, from the inside out. 'Sometimes a character feels close to who you are; sometimes it doesn't, even if people believe it does, especially when you're playing a bad person,' he explains. He credits much of his process to internalising how a character thinks. 'We all have a voice in our heads. Amol has a voice, which sounds like Amol, which thinks and judges like Amol. But if you can, through research or conversations with the team, create a different voice in your head, the voice of your character, that helps a lot. ' The Tripling actor believes that with experience, the ability to switch off from a character becomes easier. Still, certain moods linger. 'I don't know if I would put it as emotionally challenging. It can be a 'mood' thing. You try to create a certain emotional space in your brain or heart for a scene, and sometimes, that mood stays for a bit. Maybe the way you talk, or habits you pick up.' 'If a character is well-written, the camera will do its job' Having worked in ensemble casts as well as solo narratives, Parashar has developed a strong sense of screen awareness, especially when he isn't the flashiest character in the scene. 'Sometimes when there are too many people in a scene, everyone wants to stand out. There's that instinctive extra effort to be seen. But then you look back and realise, I didn't have to do so much.' With time, he's learned to trust the scene and the director's vision. 'If a character is well-written, even if you're quiet in a scene, the camera will do its job. The editor will do their job. If what you're doing is honest, the emotion will come through.' He adds, 'I've never looked at visibility as something to chase. Even outside of scenes, I don't say no to unflattering roles just to protect some public image. That feels limiting.' 'Every character gives you something' When asked if a role ever changed him personally, Amol answers, 'Every character gives you something. Chitwan [from Tripling] gave me levity, Whereas playing Bhagat Singh in Sardar Udham made me reflect on idealism,' he says, adding, 'Even if it's just small things, standing up for something I believe in, with no reward, that's what I took from him.' 'I've made peace with the fact that fame brings curiosity.' He's also learned to handle gossip and speculation around his dating life more gracefully. 'There was a time I used to get bothered. Now, I've made peace with the fact that fame brings curiosity. If people are talking, it means they're interested,' says Amol. He recalls an incident in the earlier days of his career, and says, 'Once or twice, I wasn't happy and requested not to publish, and they didn't. But now, I've let go. I let people talk, but I'm not talking. Sometimes link-ups are just PR strategies. Sometimes they don't even like each other! But the image is crafted.' There was a time I used to get bothered. Now, I've made peace with the fact that fame brings curiosity. If people are talking, it means they're interested. Amol Parashar Up next, Amol Parashar is set to take the stage with Besharam Aadmi, a solo theatre performance he will present in Pune on July 5. Written and performed by him, the show is a sharp, humorous monologue that examines the contradictions and absurdities of urban life, masculinity, and social behaviour. With equal parts wit and introspection, Besharam Aadmi navigates everything from dating app dynamics and societal expectations to everyday shamelessness that's often shrugged off as normal. The performance, which has already had successful runs in other cities, marks Parashar's theatre roots and showcases his skill in blending satire with social commentary, all while holding the stage alone for over an hour.

‘So deranged': 'Cannibal started to eat himself' on deportation flight, says DHS chief Kristi Noem; defends Alligator Alcatraz
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, speaks during a roundtable at "Alligator Alcatraz (AP photo) Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem , in a startling disclosure on Tuesday, narrated an unsettling incident involving federal agents apprehending an alleged cannibal, unauthorised immigrant, who reportedly began consuming his own arms during a deportation flight. The account was shared during Noem's visit to the "Alligator Alcatraz" deportation facility in the South Florida Everglades, where she accompanied President Trump. "The other day I was talking to some [US] Marshals that had been partnering with ICE," and continued with the account of the detained individual who allegedly attempted self-consumption while aboard the aircraft, necessitating medical intervention. "These are the kind of deranged individuals that are on our streets in America that we're trying to target and get out of our country because they are so deranged, they don't belong here,' she said. 'Cannibal' Migrant On Deportation Flight "Literally Ate His Own Arms" | N18G The former South Dakota governor utilised this narrative to demonstrate that federal authorities are focusing their efforts on apprehending the most dangerous unauthorised immigrants, rather than law-abiding community members, as suggested by critics of the administration. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo She emphasised that such disturbed individuals present on American streets are the primary targets for removal from the country due to their dangerous nature. The Department of Homeland Security was unable to promptly verify any cases matching Noem's description, according to NY Post. The detention centre, situated approximately 40 miles west of Miami amid swampland inhabited by alligators and pythons, was constructed by Florida in eight days after the Trump administration accepted the state's proposal to utilise the 39-square-mile territory for mass deportation operations. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis informed journalists that he anticipated the initial detainees would arrive at the facility Wednesday. The administration has additionally encouraged unauthorised residents to voluntarily depart, offering the possibility of future legal entry. Noem cautioned that those who refuse to self-deport might face detention at the facility, deportation, and permanent exclusion from re-entry. DeSantis posed the rhetorical question, "Why would you want to come through Alligator Alcatraz if you can just go home on your own?" suggesting many would opt for voluntary departure.
