Ned Luke, the actor who portrays Micheal in Grand Theft Auto V is in hospital after contracting COVID-19. A post to his social media tells fans that he's in hospital but hopefully coming back "strong as ever" as soon as he can.
Ned Luke voices the middle-aged, upper-class dad and criminal Michael De Santa in Rockstar's GTA V. The character is one of three names you get to play around with in Los Santos - wreaking havoc as you go. The game has been huge ever since it came out back in 2013, and it was even the third best selling game in the UK in 2020. Sadly though Luke is currently in Emory John's Creek with a case of COVID pneumonia.
Here's what he had to say on Instagram when he posted a picture of himself in a hospital bed that was spotted by UNILAD. "Yesterday [January 16] I was admitted to Emory John's Creek with Covid Pneumonia," it reads. "This shit is real and it ain't fun. I'll be down for a while but I'm coming back strong as ever. Soon. Take care and thanks for the support. The folks on the front line are true heroes. Support them."
Of course, fans of the actor flooded in to wish him well and tell him that they hope he gets better soon. The Walking Dead actor Jay Huguley wishes Luke well with a "Love you brother" while there are two other names GTA V fans might know in the comments too.
Both Shawn Fonteno who voices Franklyn and Steven Ogg who voices Trevor appear in the comment section of the Instagram post to tell Luke to kick COVID's ass. "Kick its ass like you do when speaking the English language! Sending love!! Xo" says Ogg, while Fonteno says "WIT THAT YEEYEE ASS HAIR GET WELL BIG BRO WE WORK TO DO." Honestly, it's not surprising these are the actors' responses when we know who they play in the game.
Well, at the very least we hope Ned Luke gets better soon - COVID is nothing to be laughed at and we hope he's getting the best care possible while in the hospital.
