Looksmaxxing influencer Clavicular in hospital after suspected overdose on livestream

The controversial ‘looksmaxxer’ influencer Clavicular has been hospitalised after suffering a suspected overdose live on camera.

The 20-year-old American content creator – real name Braden Eric Peters – is best known for gaining attention on Kick and TikTok for undertaking practices including facial ‘bone smashing’, taking anabolic steroids and lipodissolve products, and using crystal meth to stay lean.

However overnight he was rushed to hospital, with the medical emergency unfolding during a livestream.

In footage from the stream, Clavicular can be seen greeting fans at a Miami shopping centre, telling one woman: ‘I’m trying my best to lock in but I’m a little destroyed right now…holy sh*t dude, I’m trying my best but I’m f***ing destroyed right now…holy f***.”

After repeatedly swearing, he then tells another fan he is ‘absolutely gone’, before adding: ‘Let me go sit somewhere…where’s somewhere I can go sit down for a sec? Oh my god, f***ing hell.’

The influencer and his friends are then taken upstairs to a restaurant and seated at a booth, where he’s then asked by Australian content creator Androgenic how ‘f***ed’ he is.

‘I’m gone,’ Clavicular replied before he’s then asked if he wants an ‘addy’ (aderall) before the footage cut out.

TMZ has since obtained audio of the 911 call made to seek assistance for Clavicular, with his friends requesting emergency services for a ’20-year-old male overdose’.

The incident comes just days after an explosive interview with Clavicular aired on Australia’s 60 Minutes programme.

On Sunday night’s episode, the show investigated the trend of ‘looksmaxxing’ – a movement rooted in male ‘incel’ forums that is dedicated to maximising physical attractiveness. It involves ‘softmaxxing’ like grooming or fitness to ‘hardmaxxing’, which involves extreme measures like surgery or the dangerous act of ‘bonesmashing’ to achieve features like a chiselled jawline.

However when being interviewed by reporter Adam Hegarty, Clavicular walked out of the interview after he was questioned on the looksmaxxing community’s links to misogynistic subcultures.

Visibly annoyed by the comparison, Clavicular declared he was ‘not linked to that group in any way’.

‘Looksmaxxing is self-improvement, right? So it’s about potentially ascending out of that category and so that would be one of the goals is to disassociate from being an incel and overcome that,’ he said.

But after Hegarty mentioned self-proclaimed ‘misogynist’ influencer Andrew Tate – who is currently awaiting trial on human trafficking charges in Romania – he was left incensed.

‘You’ve obviously shared company with Andrew Tate and other, dare I say, rather controversial figures, why do you spend time with people like that?’ the reporter asked.

He was immediately met with pushback, with Clavicular declaring ‘all right, have a nice day’, before adding: ‘I see you want to make this political.’

He then stood up and walked over to his livestream setup.

Before the interview had ended, Clavicular had claimed he started taking steroids aged just 14 and discussed how he’d turned to bone smashing and drugs to achieve a more masculine appearance.

‘There’s no reason for me to go to the gym and work out in any way other than the most efficient one, and that was with anabolic steroids. So, it’s sort of like a cheat code,’ he claimed.
