If you follow Rockstar Games on X (formerly Twitter), you might have been surprised by their recent post about the film Marching Powder and its star, Danny Dyer. The post, promoting the film's UK and Ireland release, left many wondering about Rockstar's involvement. Let's clear up the mystery.
Who is Danny Dyer?
Daniel John Dyer, or Danny Dyer as he's better known, is a prominent East London actor. In the UK, he's a household name, often described as a "legend"—a term signifying someone highly respected and admired for their unique personality and outspoken nature. His career spans back to 1993, with a reputation for portraying working-class characters, mirroring his own relatable and sometimes controversial public persona. He's known for his outspoken views and a "tough uncle" approach to life, often shared through his lively social media presence. One example is his infamous tweet about wanting to launch a Furby into space on Bonfire Night.
How is Danny Dyer Connected to Rockstar?
While seemingly unconnected, Dyer's voice is familiar to Grand Theft Auto fans. He voiced Kent Paul, manager of the band Love Fist in GTA: Vice City, reprising the role for GTA: San Andreas with the band Gurning Chimps. However, a deeper connection exists: Rockstar Games produced The Football Factory, a 2004 British film starring Dyer and directed by Nick Love.
Marching Powder, Dyer and Love's new film, shares thematic similarities with The Football Factory, exploring themes of football hooliganism, heavy drinking, drug use, and British humor. Rockstar's X post promoting Marching Powder stems from this prior collaboration, not any direct involvement in the new film.
Is Vice City's Kent Paul Returning for GTA 6?
There's no official word on Kent Paul's return. The X post is unrelated to GTA 6. However, speculation is fun. The Grand Theft Auto universe is divided into distinct eras (3D and HD), with limited crossover. Despite this, some characters and elements reappear across eras, such as Grove Street and certain gangs. Kent Paul's presence on the Vinewood Walk of Fame hints at the possibility of a future appearance, but the Marching Powder post offers no confirmation.
