The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that 'Looksmaxxing' influencer and streamer Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, has been hospitalized after a suspected overdose on Tuesday evening. The online personality, known for his self-obsession with physical appearance and promotion of extreme 'looksmaxxing,' was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition. As of Tuesday night, he was still being treated there.
Earlier in the day, Clavicular's livestream on Kick suddenly cut off, sparking widespread concern among his fans. A video later surfaced on X showing the streamer being carried by several people to a black car as an ambulance arrived at the scene. The Hollywood Reporter has also reached out to the Miami Police Department and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department for more information.
Clavicular gained recognition for his advocacy of extreme 'looksmaxxing,' an online trend popular among young men focused on maximizing physical attractiveness. This trend ranges from healthy grooming to dangerous practices, such as bone-smashing with a hammer to enhance facial features. Earlier this week, the controversial streamer made headlines when he walked out of a 60 Minutes Australia interview after correspondent Adam Hegarty asked him about his connection to Andrew Tate and whether he identifies as an incel. Clavicular clearly got defensive with the line of questioning and tried to suggest the interviewer was a cuckold.
Clavicular has also found himself in legal trouble, as he is reportedly being investigated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for a video that appears to show him shooting an alligator. He was also arrested last month in Florida on misdemeanor battery charges after authorities issued a warrant for his arrest. They said the influencer provoked a fight between two women and exploited it by posting it online, as reported by The New York Times.
