But while reacting to the protagonists, Speed confused Jason for Michael De Santa. He started shouting, “Michael, Michael is back” on the stream. Now, the GTA fans need no introduction as to who the streamer confused the new male protagonist for. Michael is the protagonist for the Grand Theft Auto V.

GTA V is possibly the most successful game made by Rockstar Games. Despite being over a decade old, it still has a huge fanbase. One of the possible reasons was the iconic protagonist trio of the game: Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. But among this trio, Michael is possibly the most famous one. He was played by the American actor Ned Luke.

Talking about Ned Luke, he lately live streams on YouTube. He is getting a lot of attention for playing GTA V on his livestreams. After all, who wouldn’t love to see the American actor play with his iconic GTA character? However, even though Luke is getting a lot of love from his fans. but he has been annoyed by the constant swatting.

Aside from the swatting, Ned Luke also reacted to the GTA 6 trailer and he seems pretty excited about the game. This upcoming Grand Theft Auto is set to hit the shelves by 2025, which has annoyed some of the fans. Even IShowSpeed was a little disappointed to know about the game’s release period.
