Video was later shared on X of him being carried by several people to a black car as an ambulance arrived at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Clavicular gained recognition for his self-obsession with being aesthetically pleasing and for promoting extreme \u201clooksmaxxing\u201d \u2014 an online trend, popular among young men, focused on maximizing physical attractiveness. The trend ranges from healthy grooming to dangerous practices, such as bone-smashing using a hammer to enhance facial features, which Clavicular has advocated.<\/p>\n<p>In his 60 Minutes interview he told Adam Hegerty, \u201c\u2026.it\u2019s exactly how it sounds. I mean, you\u2019re just creating, uh, micro-fractures in specific areas of your face, and the idea behind it comes from wolf\u2019s law, right? So when you break down a gr, a bone, it grows back stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the interview also turned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s become a pseudo celebrity, streaming to global, paying subscribers, nearly 24 hours a day. And for him the more impressionable the better,\u201d said Hegerty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSurely Clav, it is a happier world where people don\u2019t sit there and obsess over their looks to the point they\u2019re hitting themselves in the face with a blunt object?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMmm, hmm. Um, well, I mean, why? If looks are the most important metric, why wouldn\u2019t you do anything and everything to maximise it?\u201d Clav replied.<\/p>\n<p>After Hegerty tried to ask about looksmaxxing\u2019s origin in the \u2018Incel\u2019 community and about his connection to Andrew Tate the interview soon ended.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not linked to that group in any way. Looksmaxxing is self-improvement, right? So it\u2019s about, uh, potentially even ascending out of that category. (laughs) So that\u2019s, that would be kind of one of the goals, is to disassociate from being an incel and, and overcome that. So that doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d said Clav.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll right, have a nice day. Are, are you trying to, I, I see you want to make this, uh, political,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The walkout also drew US media coverage.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently in a stable condition.<\/p>\n<p>There is no suggestion a suspected overdose is directly linked to his 60 Minutes interview.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeline.org.au\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lifeline<\/a>\u00a013 11 14<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondblue.org.au\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Beyond Blue<\/a>\u00a01300 22 46 36<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US content creator who featured in a 60 Minutes story is in a stable condition in US hospital.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":608610,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,134,427],"class_list":["post-608609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608609\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/608610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
