In footage from the stream, Clavicular can be seen greeting fans at a Miami shopping centre, telling one woman: \u201cI\u2019m trying my best to lock in but I\u2019m a little destroyed right now \u2026 \u201cHoly sh*t dude, I\u2019m trying my best but I\u2019m f***ing destroyed right now \u2026 Holy f***.\u201d<\/p>\n
After repeated \u201choly f***\u2019s\u201d and \u201choly sh*t\u2019s\u201d and telling another fan, \u201cI\u2019m absolutely gone\u201d, he said: \u201cLet me go sit somewhere \u2026 where\u2019s somewhere I can go sit down for a sec? Oh my god, f***ing hell.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clavicular and his group of friends are then taken upstairs to a restaurant, and seated at a booth.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow f***ed are you?\u201d Australian influencer Androgenic \u2013 who has caused headlines of his own in recent weeks \u2013 can be heard asking.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m gone,\u201d Clavicular replies.<\/p>\n
Androgenic then asks an unresponsive Clavicular, \u201cDo you want an Addy (Aderall)?\u201d before the footage cuts out.<\/p>\n
TMZ obtained the 911 dispatch audio from the incident, in which Clavicular\u2019s friends call for an emergency service response to their location for a \u201c20-year-old male overdose\u201d.<\/p>\n
Clavicular did not respond to TMZ\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n
The incident comes after Clavicular\u2019s headline-making interview with Australia\u2019s 60 Minutes.<\/p>\n
Sunday night\u2019s episode delved into the world of \u201clooksmaxxing\u201d \u2013 of which Clavicular is the most famous proponent \u2013 where boys as young as 10 are smashing their bones, ordering unapproved drugs to secret PO boxes and attempting at-home plastic surgery.<\/p>\n
The trend, which first sparked mainstream attention in 2023, has sparked a flurry of warnings from experts, who say the dangerous substances and methods used could cause serious harm.<\/p>\n
During a tense on-air moment with reporter Adam Hegarty, Clavicular walked out of the interview after being challenged on the looksmaxxing community\u2019s link to a range of misogynistic subcultures, including incels, also known as involuntary celibates \u2013 men who blame women for their non-existent sex lives \u2013 and Andrew Tate.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not linked to that group in any way,\u201d Clavicular said, visibly disgusted at the idea of being associated with incels.<\/p>\n
\u201cLooksmaxxing is self-improvement, right? So it\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hegarty continued with his line of questioning, with the young man abruptly ending the interview when he mentioned Tate, a self-proclaimed \u201cmisogynist\u201d influencer who is set to stand trial for alleged human trafficking in Romania.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve obviously shared company with Andrew Tate and other, dare I say, rather controversial figures, why do you spend time with people like that?\u201d Hegarty asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right, have a nice day\u201d Clavicular replied, before adding: \u201cI see you want to make this political.\u201d<\/p>\n
After attempting to claim Hegarty \u2013 who isn\u2019t married \u2013 had been \u201ccheated\u201d on by his wife, he stood up and walked over to his livestream setup.<\/p>\n
Before the interview was derailed, Clavicular had discussed how he turned to bone smashing and drugs, be it injecting steroids or taking methamphetamine, to achieve his desired look.<\/p>\n
Clavicular, whose parents are former bodybuilders, claims to have started taking steroids at 14 years old.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s 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\u2019s sort of like a cheat code,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
These claims have been shot down by aesthetic surgeon Angie Taras, who described the practices as \u201cshocking\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s just absolutely no scientific evidence behind most of the things that they are talking about,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Taras said bone smashing was also an unhelpful method in changing the shape of the face, as it leads to temporary swelling and bruising, not permanently changing the shape of the skull.<\/p>\n
She also argued many of the before-and-after pictures used in looksmaxxing posts were likely down to puberty and secret aesthetic treatments.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, puberty\u2019s happened. So their faces changed anyway,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes you \u2026 wonder if they\u2019re getting other treatments as well that they\u2019re not talking about. So it could be a combination of both those things.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clinical psychologist Zac Seidler said the looksmaxxing trend was \u201creally concerning\u201d and \u201cnihilistic\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said the online movement was \u201ctelling young guys that life is hopeless\u201d and they wouldn\u2019t be able to succeed in their careers, get a romantic partner or make friends without looksmaxxing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all about winning and competitiveness and, really, sadly, what it leads to is self-destruction.\u201d <\/p>\n
Seidler said the dangerous online trend provided an opportunity to unpack the psychology behind the young men taking part in looksmaxxing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that lots of them come from trauma backgrounds,\u201d he told 60 Minutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike, what is driving a 14-year-old to start to inject steroids, use meth, smash themselves with a hammer?\u201d<\/p>\n
