Grand Theft Auto VI is just mere weeks away from being released and Rockstar is in a full-on marketing blitz to ensure a steady stream of preorders. However, that hasn’t been enough to satiate the most hardcore of fans, who are now attempting to uncover the actors that’ll be bringing the game’s world to life. This includes fans taking over a livestream of the person they believe has secured the role of Lucia, one of the main protagonists.

Manni L. Perez, who certainly has a strong resemblance to Lucia, went live on Instagram to have a conversation with some of her fans. She shared some details about her life, including that while she currently lives in the city in a tiny apartment that she shares with her small dog, she grew up in small town and often returns to visit family. As this ordinary stream was taking place, GTA VI fans began to flood the comments.


Perez had to navigate a wave of different GTA related messages, with many fans referencing the game in passing or just flat out typing the name of the game itself along with the character’s name. She held her nerve and managed to get to the end of her livestream without addressing the torrent of GTA comments. This isn’t surprising considering the entire cast likely signed airtight non-disclosure agreements.

Fans might be on to something beyond the fact that Perez does look incredibly similar to Lucia. She has worked with Rockstar in the past, as she ended up getting a role as a blackjack dealer that appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Online. It doesn’t make it a surefire bet that she’s who fans suspect, but that she’s had acting work with the company certainly gives credence to the rumors.

Fans will finally be able to move on from sifting through every trailer and screenshot or playing detective with the cast when GTA VI launches on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19.
