We get one picture of her hairy legs, or her aging muff and we are in the money, man!
— Beverly

Paparazzo is a Strangers and Freaks mission in Grand Theft Auto V, given by Beverly Felton to protagonist Franklin Clinton. The player must complete the first towing mission for Tonya to unlock the paparazzo mission.

Description[]

Franklin meets a paparazzi named Beverly hiding in the parking lot of the unnamed Chinese restaurant on Eclipse Boulevard in West Vinewood. Beverly at first mistakes Franklin for Clay "PG" Jackson and takes some photos of him, making references to Jackson's closeted homosexuality. When Beverly realises his mistake, he asks for Franklin's help to take some pictures of the actress Miranda Cowan. Franklin reluctantly agrees to help Beverly when he offers to pay Franklin for his work. Miranda will enter the waiting Stretch limo and Franklin gets on the PCJ 600 with Beverly getting on behind him. They follow the limo along Eclipse Boulevard and onto West Eclipse Boulevard. The player needs to drive very close to the limo so Beverly is able to snap three sets of photos of the actress shooting a speedball inside.

As the limo approaches Dorset Drive it speeds ahead and the bike cannot keep up, even with Franklin's Special Ability, and two rival paparazzi on another PCJ 600 will appear from North Rockford Drive. Beverly identifies one as "that bottom-feeder", Madison and will ask Franklin to chase the paparazzo and ride near enough to him so he can hit the other paparazzi off their bike.

After Madison and his associate have been knocked off their bike, Beverly shouts "Oh yeah, I downloaded your pictures to the fucking road, Madison! Now grow up and get a boy's name!" despite Beverly being a name just as commonly associated with females.

If the player decides to do a drive-by and shoot the rival paparazzo, this will trigger a dialogue from Beverly where he tells Franklin he "didn't have to kill him" to which Franklin will explain that hitting him off the fast moving bike would likely have been just as fatal.

Beverly will ask to be dropped off at his next stake-out in a small parking lot by the Café Redemption in Morningwood, where he is going to attempt to get shots of Samantha Muldoon as she buys a North Korean child on the adoption black market.

Beverly: “Drop me there, and you can keep the bike, because I look after my people.”
Franklin: “Look after your people? Man, I know when a ride is hot. If this is your bike, then I'm the fuckin' pope, dog.”
Beverly: “Okay, okay, don't ruin the vibe.
I think I got a decent shot of Miranda back there.”

Franklin: “So we're splitting what you get for the photo fifty-fifty, right?”
Beverly: “Err, well, I kinda though the bike would cover your share. I mean, I did do all the work.”
Franklin and Beverly discuss payment for his assistance

On the way there, Beverly tells Franklin that he should keep the bike as payment, however Franklin identifies that the bike didn't belong to Beverly in the first place.

On arrival in the parking lot, the mission will be passed.

Mission Objectives[]

  • Chase Miranda and take some photos of her
  • Take out the rival paparazzi

Gold Medal Objectives[]

  • Smack Down: Ensure Beverly takes out his rival on the 1st attempt.
    • Use Franklin's special ability to keep the bike right next to the rival's bike.
  • Picture Perfect: Help Beverly snap and inspect 3 photographs.
    • Again, use Franklin's ability to keep the bike next to the Stretch at all times.

Aftermath[]

StarsTalk Newspaper[]

"In what must be the most media attention washed-up hag Miranda Cowan has received since turning 30 and becoming irrelevant, rival paparazzi came to blows over shots of her allegedly slamming a speedball in the back of a limousine. The two paparazzi involved, Beverly Felton and Madison Fox, are long-term contributors to StarsTalk and as odious a pair of douchebags as you'll ever meet, which is why we love them. But photos of Miranda "The Silicone Slattern" Cowan? Come on, guys. You're a decade too late with those. That drug-addled cougar has had more plastic surgery than a burn victim. Step it up."

Weazel News (Radio)[]

Paparazzi battle over Miranda Cowan. Two rival paparazzi came to blows while trying to get photos of TV star Miranda Cowan during a high speed chase. Miranda, who was on a career downturn, must wonder what she's got to do to keep the media interested in her.

Wildlife Photography Challenge[]

Beverly signs Franklin up for the Wildlife Photography Challenge after the mission is complete.
