Grand Theft Auto V has never stopped being popular – just look at the sales figures for 2020 – and it’s still generating fresh memes. Now we are in the era of Lamar frying Franklin, as mud and video editors are still finding new ways to recreate the scene with increasingly absurd adaptations. Now things have reached their natural conclusion: the actors behind Franklin and Lamar have recreated the scene in real life.
The relaxation is all you can hope for. Slink Johnson as Lamar delivers his lines with all the colorful influence he had in 2013, and Solo Fonteno is just as incredible in live action as in motion recording. They are even dressed in the appropriate outfits and do the scene in a quiet street that definitely looks like Los Angeles.
The scene was created in collaboration with PlayStation Haven, who is working with Slink Johnson on a real-world comparison series from GTA 5. In these videos, the actor can explore the real places that inspired the fictional city of Los Santos. And hey, if you’re already in LA with the actor anyway, why not do the Franklin meme?
