How old is Franklin from GTA 5

Rockstar Games never provided a specific age for any of the main characters in Grand Theft Auto V, making it difficult to determine how old they are. However, players can estimate how old they are based on contextual clues found in the game. We researched these clues for you and determined how old is Franklin from GTA 5.

Franklin from GTA 5 – How Old is He?

Franklin Clinton was born in Los Santos in 1988, making him either 24 or 25 years old during the events of Grand Theft Auto V, which occurs in 2013. His age is quite surprising because he definitely looks older in GTA 5. Without a doubt, we wouldn’t have guessed his age if it wasn’t for the clues we found in GTA 5. 

It’s safe to assume that characters age with time and that Franklin is 35 years old today. However, Rockstar Games has not confirmed this. Read on to discover how did we discover Franklin’s age in GTA 5 using the hints from the game.

How Did We Discover Franklin’s Age in GTA 5?

For those players who were attentive, Rockstar Games has made Franklin Clinton’s age clear since the early stages of the game. If you look carefully at his license plates, you will see that they have “FC1988.” FC stands for Frank Clinton, while 1988 stands for his birth year.

What’s also interesting about his birth year is that it’s the first time that Michael committed his first-ever bank robbery, and it was the year when Radio Los Santos began broadcasting.
