Kind of. Rockstar reportedly sent a strict reminder that actors are under NDA and cannot disclose their involvement in the game until November 19. So, when we say Perez answered fan questions, what we really mean is that she carefully ignored all the comments about GTA 6 to avoid the Men in Black showing up at her door. "I figured I might get on here because a lot of people are asking questions, a lot of people want to get to know me," Perez said, as shown in a clip shared by GTA 6 Countdown on X. "I'm not a fan of social media, but for the work that I do, unfortunately, we need it. And I don't post a lot of things — when I'm out and about in the city, I never take photos. I just forget that my phone is on me. My phone is usually put away in my fanny pack, or I left it in the car by accident. I just don't take photos." GTA 6 What Now? Meal Prepping And Fanny Packs Perez talked about meal prepping, stressed that she isn't a rich millionaire, said she drives an old, used sedan, and noted how she doesn't like showering at the gym, all while commenters mused that the "NDA gotta be craaaazy." As she openly discussed not being fond of social media, claiming that she isn't photogenic and doesn't like having her face out there, someone pointed out, "You are about to be one of the most famous faces in the world in less than a month girl." A few in the audience tried to dig whatever they could out of Perez, like one commenter, who said, "There's 3 more weeks bruh just say something about it," while others coyly asked, "Ready for November?" Perez, obviously wanting to avoid the Rockstar snipers, ignored them completely while she talked about her dog. It's a little amusing watching someone who is very clearly playing Lucia spend an entire live not acknowledging the onslaught of GTA 6 fans in her mentions. I'm sure it'll be a huge relief next month when she can finally stop pretending she has no idea why her Instagram has blown up. Perez also posted a brilliant response to Instagram about the flying Elon Musk car that can do kickflips that I'd be remiss not to mention: "I don't give one flat-footed fu**, she said. "Groceries are $100 a square foot. You think I give a damn about what kind of acrobatic fuing Rocket League bullsh*t this motherfuer's doing? I don't care."
