Well-known podcaster Larry Lawton, who evolved from jewel thief to life coach, had the opportunity to interview Ned Luke, who played Michael De Santa in GTA 5, in a recent podcast. However, when Lawton baited Luke about GTA 6, Ned Luke became quite serious. Here are the details.
Michael actor Ned Luke ‘persistently’ denies being in GTA 6
Lawton began the podcast with a seemingly innocuous introduction, saying, “I have a great interview… Michael from Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto 6, that’s Ned Luke!” said. The slip of the tongue caught Luke off guard, the actor’s visible reaction evident as his face fell and he began shaking his head. Luke then immediately made the following statement: “GTA 6… uncharted waters for now. There is no such thing!”
Trying to calm the situation, Lawton raised his hands towards the camera and said, “I didn’t say a word!” he shouted in fear. The pair humorously brushed off the mistake before quickly continuing the interview. However, Luke remained cautious and stayed away from all other topics about GTA 6.
Later in the interview, Lawton got back on topic and asked Luke if he could share anything about GTA 6. True to his NDA obligations with Rockstar, Luke responded, “I can’t say anything about GTA 6.”
New games leaked! There is no information stolen from the Spider-Man developer
Spider-Man developer Insomniac Games is struggling with a new hack attack. It was stated that 1.3 million files were stolen from the company.
When Lawton went further and questioned whether he could confirm Luke’s involvement, the actor shook his head and chuckled, adding, “No.” Luke acknowledged that it was a historical pattern for Rockstar not to reuse lead characters, but emphasized that the ongoing non-disclosure agreement (NDA) prevented him from sharing any potential information.
While this incident led to rumors that Michael De Santa would return in GTA 6, Luke remained tight-lipped and cited the NDA as an obstacle to revealing any information. Let’s see if we’ll actually see Michael in Vice City. What are you thinking? Please don’t forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
