Is Oscar Jaenada Playing Raul Bautista in GTA VI? Fans Say Sí — and the Evidence Is Spicy

GTA VI Fans Think They’ve Found Raul Bautista’s Actor — And He’s Got a Criminal Résumé

Instagram, Eyebrows, and Fan Fury

Leave it to GTA fans to go full private investigator over a single Instagram post.

Spanish actor Oscar Jaenada, known for his roles in Luis Miguel: The Series and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, posted a now-deleted photo on Instagram that had one striking detail: a character model eerily similar to Raul Bautista, one of GTA VI’s suspected older heist mentors.

Within hours, Reddit lit up like a getaway car fire. Screenshots of Jaenada’s post were dissected, zoomed, and labeled like a CIA dossier. The resemblance? Uncanny. The same intense stare, grizzled jawline, and "I've-seen-some-stuff" energy.

The Evidence That’s Got Fans Buzzing

Here’s what the sleuths are using to build their case:

• Instagram Post: Jaenada posted a blurred photo with mo-cap dots on his face. Fans matched it with a leaked dev image of Raul. Post was deleted within 12 hours.

• Reddit Theories: On r/GTA6 and r/GrandTheftAutoV, threads like “Oscar Jaenada = Raul Bautista??” have hundreds of upvotes.

• Voice Comparison: A few users on GTAForums posted audio samples from Jaenada’s TV work and compared them to the trailer voiceovers — and yes, it’s compelling.

• His Vibe: Let’s be real — Jaenada looks like the kind of guy who’d rob a bank, light a cigar with the insurance money, and read Neruda while reloading.

While Rockstar hasn’t confirmed anything (because of course they haven’t), fans are 99% sure they’ve cracked it. And with his acting chops and rugged presence, Jaenada would be a killer fit for Raul — the rumored “one last score” type who teaches Jason and Lucia how to live dirty and die stylish.

My Take

There are two kinds of actors you want in a GTA game: those who look like they’ve committed crimes… and those who might have.

Oscar Jaenada walks that line beautifully. He’s got the quiet menace of a guy who knows six ways to hotwire a truck and three ways to break your heart doing it.

If this casting’s legit? Rockstar didn’t just hire an actor. They hired drama with a passport and a revolver.

Curious who’s playing Jason?
