Is Rockstar's new GTA 6 character actually Matty Matheson? Here's what we know!
(Image via Rockstar Games) When Rockstar Games dropped Trailer 2 for Grand Theft Auto VI , fans didn't just go wild over the neon-soaked streets of Leonida or the chaotic energy of its lead duo, Jason and Lucia—they also started asking one very unexpected question: Is Matty Matheson in GTA 6? Let's break down the speculation. — Kreyg (@Kreyg) Where the Rumor Started Fans are speculating that Matty Matheson is playing Cal Hampton in GTA 6 (Image via YouTube/@mattymatheson) At the 1:30 mark in Trailer 2, we catch a glimpse of a character sitting inside a bar—heavyset, bearded, tatted, and full of personality. Operation Sindoor Three explosions rock Lahore, flight ops temporarily halted Before & after: Satellite images show damage to terror camps in Pak after Op Sindoor Operation Sindoor: 'India is going to ...', says Donald Trump's close ally Laura Loomer in viral post on Twitter He appears again briefly at the trailer's end. The internet thinks this character is Cal Hampton , and fans immediately noticed something familiar about him: by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 12000W лазерен заваръчен апарат (4 в 1) – революция в заваряването! Undo He looks and sounds a lot like Matty Matheson . For those unfamiliar, Matty is a celebrity chef, actor, and internet icon known for his unfiltered energy and recent breakout role in The Bear . His larger-than-life vibe would honestly fit right into GTA's chaos. What We Know About Cal Hampton Cal Hampton is a friend of Jason in GTA 6 (Image via Rockstar Games) According to Rockstar's newly updated website, Cal is a close friend of Jason, the male protagonist in GTA 6. Not much else is known about him—just some screenshots and those quick trailer moments. But here's where things get interesting: The character design bears a strong resemblance to Matty Matheson, down to the face shape, tattoos, and expressive eyes. The voice, while only heard briefly, has the same gravelly, punchy energy that Matty's known for. It's not proof—but it's just enough to get fans speculating. Does Rockstar Do This Kind of Thing? Absolutely. In fact, Rockstar has a long history of using actors' likenesses in their character models. Just look at GTA V —Trevor, Michael, and Franklin all share a strong visual and vocal resemblance to their real-life actors. Modern games often digitally scan actors' faces and voices to bring characters to life. So, if Matty was involved, it's likely Cal Hampton's look and feel would match his—exactly what we're seeing here. Why It's Still Just a Rumor Here's the thing: Rockstar hasn't announced the cast yet. Not even for Jason or Lucia. That means everything right now is pure speculation, however fun or convincing it may be. And while it's tempting to read into every pixel and voice clip, it's worth remembering that fan theories—especially with Rockstar—don't always pan out. Final Thoughts Is Matty Matheson playing Cal Hampton in GTA 6 ? Possibly. Maybe even probably. But not confirmed. Until Rockstar makes things official, this theory sits in speculation territory. Still, with the game dropping in May 2026, more reveals are bound to come soon. And honestly? Whether or not it's Matty, Cal Hampton is already shaping up to be a fan favorite.

Every New GTA 6 Character and Location Announced in Trailer 2
Publisher Rockstar Games broke a lot of gamers' hearts last week when it said Grand Theft Auto 6 was being pushed to next year. As a bit of a consolation prize, the company dropped a new trailer and shared new details about the game. The second trailer for GTA 6 went live Tuesday, and Rockstar published a treasure trove of info about the game. This includes the name of the mystery second protagonist from the game as well as some of the other characters players will interact with, and what different locales in the fictional Leonida will be available to visit. All Grand Theft Auto 6 Characters It wouldn't be a GTA game without a large cast of characters. Rockstar Games Jason and Lucia The two heroes of GTA 6. Jason Duval has been working for drug runners after doing some time in the Army. He met up with Lucia Caminos, who, as of the time of the trailer, is getting out of Leonida Penitentiary after spending some time due to some unknown crime that involved protecting her family. It's unclear if the two characters will be playable throughout the game. More than likely, both characters will have their own missions, while others will have them both be playable at different points in a mission. Rockstar Games Cal Hamption A friend of Jason's who's a conspiracy theorist. He's extremely online and spends time snooping on law enforcement. As is the case with most friends in GTA games, expect to do a few missions for him at certain points in the game. Rockstar Games Boobie Ike A Vice City legend, Boobie is a former street thug who is now a businessman with an empire spanning real estate, a strip club and a recording studio. He has a partnership with music mogul Dre'Quan for Only Raw Records, and they're looking for a hit song. Rockstar Games Dre'Quan Priest A street hustler trying to make it big in music. He used to book acts for Boobie's strip club, but is looking to make a name for himself with his music act, Real Dimez. Rockstar Games Real Dimez Bae-Luxe and Roxy are two girls who met in high school and do their share of making viral content for social media. They had a hit single five years ago with local rapper DWNPLY, and they're trying to recreate that success. Rockstar Games Raul Bautista Raul is a professional bank robber who takes a lot of risks. He could be the one to recruit Jason and Lucia for a big score that goes all wrong. Rockstar Games Brian Heder Brian is the first person we see in the new trailer. He's likely to be one of the first NPCs to use both Jason and Lucia to do some of his dirty work. All Grand Theft Auto 6 Locations Confirmed in Leonida With GTA 5 taking place in Los Santos and surrounding areas, it looks like Rockstar is going to go even bigger with GTA 6. The game's setting is the state of Leonida, the fictional version of Florida. It will include some time in the big city as well as surrounding areas, including the coasts and swamplands. Rockstar Games Vice City The heart of the game will likely be Vice City, a parody of Miami, once again a setting for a GTA game. Unlike GTA: Vice City, which was set in the 1980s, this version of the city will be very up-to-date. Expect to spend some time on the beach, in the clubs, in the Little Cuba neighborhood and at the VC Port. Rockstar Games Leonida Keys A take on the Florida Keys, Leonida Keys is going to be the place to spend some time in the water, likely running away from the Coast Guard while riding a speeding motorboat. Rockstar Games Grassrivers It wouldn't be a proper game in a fictional Florida without some version of the Everglades. Grassrivers is swamp country, where gators sneak around, and the locals are just as dangerous. Rockstar Games Port Gellhorn One of the smaller cities in Leonida is Port Gellhorn, a take on Key West. This is a rundown town where it's easier to find painkillers than a good time. Rockstar Games Ambrosia Aside from Rockstar's description, it's hard to really put a finger on Ambrosia's real-life counterpart. Although the game labels Ambrosia the "heart of Leonida," some GTA fans on the game's subreddit suggest the city could be St. Augustine or Clewiston, both cities in Florida. Rockstar Games Mount Kalaga Like Ambrosia, this is one that's a bit hard to find the real-life counterpart. Its description says it has lush wooded areas for fishing, hunting and off-roading, while also being the home to hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals. GTA 6 is set for release on May 26, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. The price has not been announced.
