Fans call Jason's Brian O'Conner aka Paul Walker
From the slicked-back hair to his rugged charm, the moment Jason made an appearance on the screen, fans started linking him with the iconic Fast & Furious character, Paul Walker. Most of them are already convinced that Rockstar Games draws inspiration from Walker's character.
The social media has erupted with side-by-side edits of Jason's trailer moments and the memorable scenes of Brian O'Conner from 2 Fast 2 Furious.
A user took on X to share,
'He look so much like Brian (Paul walker) I'm changing his name from Jason to Brian.'
While another user added,
"Anyone else getting the feeling that Jason might actually be a cop? We know he's ex-army, but I don't know what it is about him, he's giving Paul Walker f&f1 vibes,'
comparing Jason to the Walker's role in first Fast & Furious movie.
A user even said that while the delay in release sucks, he's stuck with the idea of Jason being inspired by 2 Fast 2 Furious. The comment read,
"Gta delay sucks but this trailer further reinforces my head canon that Jason is paul walkers character from 2 fast 2 furious.'
Connecting to it, a fan even called him to be young Paul Walker, saying,
'Ironic because the male reminds me of a cop and I'm not really sure why, maybe it's because he kinda looks like a young Paul Walker.'

Another user commented that he believed Jason to be Walker after it was pointed out, but he doesn't have blonde hair or blue eyes. However, he did show some convincing that the character takes up some inspiration from Fast and Furious. His comment read,
'Someone pointed out how similar he looks to Paul walker and now I'm convinced that part of the inspo for this game was 2 fast 2 furious. And before anyone says dumb shit, I know he's not blonde with blue eyes, it's something else about him.'
Some fans are not even sure who they should compare Jason to— Paul Walker, Ben Affleck, or Logan Paul? If this is not a perfection to fuel the needed action amidst the fans and their running wild theories, no idea what would be.

The comparisons didn't just stop at the appearance. The high-speed chases shown in the trailer, apart from the heists and the Fast Five-styled vault-dragging sequence, all have together convinced that Rockstar Games is tipping the hat to the franchise.
GTA 6 is a perfect crime-heist fans' heaven
Official Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 just launched. The details and story are amazing!
Or better to say, GTA is Fast & Furious: Vice City Edition, as beyond the looks of Jason, the action sequence from the GTA 6 trailer feels like it's ripped right out of the Fast & Furious movie. The standout moment even featured the truck hauling the massive crate through streets— a clear nod to the infamous bank vault scene of Fast Five. Even Jason's military background and tactical precision traits are reminiscent of Walker's undercover cop persona.

The fans are speculating if Rockstar Games have intentionally leaned into a Fast aesthetic, trying to blend some over-the-top vehicle mayhem with the signature crime drama of GTA. If so, GTA VI can definitely deliver one of the most cinematic heist gameplay of the series yet.
With almost over a year until the game's release, the hype for the game will continue to build. Whether it is intentional or not, the resemblance between Jason and Paul Walker has already cemented him as the fan favorite.
