In GTA Online, John Marston's character model has no rendered lower body — the file intended for his legs (lowr_000_u.ydd) was repurposed to create his hat instead.

The GTAO portrait of a legend who floats through Los Santos—no legs, but that hat? Perfectly rendered.
In RDR2 he's the full package. In GTA Online? Rockstar said 'legs are optional, that hat is mandatory.'
Jim Milton had legs. John Marston in GTA Online? Rockstar turned his leg file into a fashion statement.
RDR1 John walked so GTA Online John could... hover. The hat lives on, the legs got repurposed.
Family man, full model. GTA Online? They yoinked his leg file and said 'this is a hat now, dad.'
Even in the 2013 promo, he's out here legless in Los Santos. Players too busy grinding to notice the floating cowboy.
Character Creator lets you build the man, the myth, the missing lower half. That hat? Stolen straight from his legs.
There are secret dance parties happening underwater in GTA San Andreas — or so players thought.
