Looksmaxxer leader Braden Peters—better known as Clavicular or “clav”— likes to smash his cheekbones with a hammer and do meth to stay lean. What does he not like? Being associated with the incel community or questioned about his manosphere friendships on television.

In a recent segment for 60 Minutes Australia, journalist Adam Hegarty sat down with Clavicular, but the interview was abruptly cut short when Clavicular walked out.

For those unfamiliar with Clavicular, the New Jersey-born Kick streamer has risen in popularity the last few months for sharing his looksmaxxing journey—what he calls a movement of self-improvement—where he resorts to rather extreme measures to achieve maximum attractiveness, or gigaChad status.

But it’s not just the tedious beauty routine that has garnered attention toward Clav. He is also regularly going viral for controversial stunts, like running over someone with a Tesla Cybertruck or partying with figures such as self-proclaimed misogynist influencer Andrew Tate while singing to Ye’s “Heil Hitler” in Miami.

Like a car wreck, the internet has been unable to look away, leading major outlets like The New York Times, GQ, and Playboy to profile Clav.

And now the latest mainstream coverage, 60 Minutes, is going viral.

“Literally the worst sequence of questions”

Hegarty began the interview by dissecting some of the vernacular used by Clav and the looksmaxxing community, like mogging (outshining someone). But the conflict came when Hegarty pointed out the looksmaxxing community’s ties with the incel community online.
