ARed Dead Redemptionfan has shared their impressive cosplay of Uncle with the game’s community, and despite being a fairly easy look to achieve, the details packed into the outfit are commendable. Uncle was originally voiced by actor John O’Creagh in the firstRed Dead Redemptiongame, but James McBride took over voice work and motion-capture duties for the role when O’Creagh passed away.

Even seven years after the sequel’s release, fans are still finding amazing details in the game, including oneRed Dead Redemption 2player who uncovered a surprising discovery on Guarma, and the itch to honor the terrific characters involved through fan art and cosplay is still at its height.
Posted on Reddit by grimsage99, a series of photos were shared on theRed Dead Redemptionsubreddit showcasing the user dressed to perfection as Uncle, similar to otherRed Dead Redemption 2fans who cosplayed as John and Arthur. The cosplayer explained the hat was handmade, the union suit was hemmed to save them from sweating, and the final dirt and grime touches were acrylics. Furthermore, the fan noted they colored their beard and used red grease paint to achieve a blushed face, using additional makeup to allow their eyes to appear more sunken.
Red Dead Redemption 2players were initially confused over what Lumbago was. Still, the medical term has become synonymous with the character because of how much he brings up his chronic condition in conversations. The Reddit community defaults to calling him “lumbago man,” but fans had plenty of praise for the cosplayer in between commenting for them to get back to work.
While the cosplayer replicated Uncle’s dusty apparel and senile demeanor to perfection, anotherRed Dead Redemptionplayer showed what a young version of Uncle would look likethrough a fan art submission, and the character is a fan favorite of the Van der Linde gang. Uncle is a major character in both the originalRed Deadgame and the sequel, but the rancher’s real name and age are never specified. Therefore, other individuals refer to him as “old man,” and the guy is notorious for his drinking and smoking habits.
