The speculations started in May 2024, when YouTuber Michael (X/@LegacyKillaHD) claimed Dylan Rourke plays the role of Jason Duval, the male protagonist in GTA 6. They also shared a clip from the film Bury The Bride, where Dylan was seen delivering some dialogue.

At that time, Rockstar Games had not even introduced the male protagonist officially. In the first trailer, Jason Duval said only one word — “trust.” Still, fans stuck to the notion that Dylan Rourke is the model and voice behind the character.

After GTA 6 trailer 2 was released, we got more visuals of Jason Duval. Fans started to compare Dylan Rourke’s looks with the character and were convinced that they look alike.

Interestingly, the Grand Theft Auto community is also convinced that Manni L. Perez voices the character of Lucia Caminos in the upcoming installment. Fans have compared the photos of real-life artists with the in-game characters from each possible angle.

While Manni L. Perez had some solid connections with Rockstar Games (especially GTA 5 Online), no such links of Dylan Rourke have been found yet. Regardless of this, Grand Theft Auto fans continue to comment about Jason Duval on Dylan’s official Instagram page.
