GTA 5 Michael Actor Teases GTA 6 'Mission': Hunt for a Small Ass in a World of Huge Ones
Ass equality goes mainstream, turning a cheeky slogan into a serious reckoning over body policing, beauty standards, and who gets to set the rules.
GTA 6 marketing has been, uh, cheeks-forward so far. I figured that out from the trailer, out May 26, 2026. Ned Luke figured it out too. He’s Michael from GTA 5, and he’s on a one-man crusade for what he calls butt equality in the next game. Yes, this is real.
Ned Luke is running a butt audit in GTA 6
Luke told YouTuber Harrison Shipp that he can’t wait to play GTA 6, but he’s also treating it like a personal side quest: find a small butt. His vibe: the trailers are wall-to-wall big butts, and that’s not his speed. He says he’s not a 'big ass guy' and would rather spot a 'nice' or 'athletic' look somewhere in the chaos of Vice City.
'Go fuck yourself.'
That was Luke’s response when pressed for any info that wasn’t, well, butt-related. Man has a brand and he’s sticking to it.
This has been his bit since the first trailer
Back when GTA 6’s debut trailer hit in 2023, Luke basically live-commentated the rear-end parade: big butts, big butts with thicker thighs, big butts in thongs, and then more big butts. He wasn’t mad about it, just amused, and clearly still is.
The interview had a weird side quest
Inside baseball, but worth flagging: the interviewer, Harrison Shipp, apparently told Trevor’s actor Steven Ogg he doesn’t know who Dostoevsky is. Not relevant to GTA 6 content, just one of those odd little asides that pop up around this series.
- Who’s talking: Ned Luke, the voice/face of Michael from GTA 5
- Where he said it: a chat with YouTuber Harrison Shipp
- What he wants: less 'big ol' asses,' more 'nice, athletic' butts to find in GTA 6
- When GTA 6 lands: May 26, 2026
Perspective check
For what it’s worth, a history professor who uses GTA to teach says Rockstar’s craftsmanship is ridiculously detailed, the kind of granular worldbuilding few studios can match. Which is a polite way of saying: yes, there are jokes… but the game’s attention to detail is doing a lot of heavy lifting, even on the silly stuff.
Bottom line: Luke’s going to be combing Vice City for one modestly proportioned posterior while the rest of us are staring at, well, everything else in this very large, very loud game.
