Ned Luke, the actor behind Grand Theft Auto 5's Michael De Santa, said people who think Grand Theft Auto 6 looks too much like GTA 5 are "out of their minds."

Luke has remained an important figure in the GTA community since he first appeared as one of three playable professional criminals in the 2013 installment. Now that he and the rest of the world have gotten a closer look at what Rockstar Games is cooking up with GTA 6, he's stepped in to defend it from the naysayers.

One of the many, many talking points to emerge in the wake of last week's GTA 6: Extended Look was that playing as protagonists Jason and Lucia looked a little too similar to the kind of gameplay one could expect from GTA 5. While most seem to believe Rockstar has wisely used the 13 years since that game's release, it hasn't stopped skepticism from creeping in.

Luke doesn't seem to be included in the new game's cast, but he still made sure to refute some of the criticisms popping up online while collaborating with YouTube channels Partychat and House of Highlights. When asked for his thoughts about those who believe there are too many similarities between GTA 5 and GTA 6, he made his stance clear.

"This looks nothing like Grand Theft Auto 5," he said. "I think they're out of their minds."

"I'll tell you one thing: I never looked that good," he added, pointing to an image of Jason on his screen."
