Ricky Gervais Lands Role In Grand Theft Auto IV Slightly obese humourist Ricky Gervais has landed a role in the new GTA game, due for release on April 29. The man responsible for some of the decade's greatest television has teamed up with the creators of the decade's greatest computer game, in what has been described by one man as ‘a slightly interesting event - I'll probably have a look’. Ricky will appear as himself, performing three minutes of new material, as well as some jokes from his recent Fame tour, in the Liberty City Comedy Club. Make no mistake about it, that’s a tough crowd - one poorly-timed dance routine and Ricky could soon find himself on the receiving end of the old ‘rocket up the arse’ heckle.

Eminem Not Ever Starring In Grand Theft Auto: The Movie

Eminem's been awfully quiet lately - so quiet that he hasn't even guff-headedly tried to get remarried to his ex-ex-ex-wife in the last couple of months.

But maybe that's because Eminem was quietly hatching a plan to get his name back up in lights again. Maybe Eminem was preparing to take the lead in a brand new movie based on Grand Theft Auto.

No. No he wasn't. According to GTA producers Rockstar, Eminem was never going to star in a Grand Theft Auto movie, because a Grand Theft Auto movie was never going to be made. Good thing too - we always had Eminem down as more of an Irritating Stick kinda guy anyway.
