GTA 5: Even Michael’s actor doesn’t like the yoga mission, but for very different reasons than fans

Nearly nobody likes the yoga mission in GTA 5, even though Michael’s actor had to slave away for eight hours to complete it

GTA 5 is known for great characters, random violence, fast cars and, of course, biting satire. And although terms such aswellnessandsportsmight not at first cause any associations with rock star’s gangster epic, every fan’s bells should ring when they hear the wordyoga

The reason for this is the infamous missionYoga calms, whichcan undoubtedly be described as one of the most unpopular tasks in the entire game As Michael actor Ned Luke has now revealed, he doesn’t like it either – albeit for different reasons than the fans

A whole working day of yoga

What is this task? In the story missionYoga calmsyou control Michael and are made to do some yoga exercises together with Fabien by Amanda. Many fans found this time-consuming and boring If you wanted to achieve 100 percent, you couldn’t make any mistakes despite the time pressure

No love on the internet:OnX the GTA fan account GTA 6 Countdownpublished a post showing a screenshot from the mission. The caption reads:Without a doubt the worst mission in GTA 5.

The Michael actor agrees crystal clear in the comments section. But with an interesting addition:Without a doubt the worst mission to shoot. I sweated it out for eight hours

Likely very few people thought about how the mission was developed.Obviously Ned Luke had to do the exercises for the motion-capture shoot in real life And anyone who was already annoyed after the few minutes in the game can certainly imagine why the actor looks back on it in anything but a positive light
