Controversial US looksmaxxer Clavicular rips into Anthony Albanese's appearance and makes stunning claim about Australian politics

By MAISY RAE and ASHLEY NICKEL, NEWS REPORTER, AUSTRALIA Published: 03:54, 15 April 2026 | Updated: 04:08, 15 April 2026 A controversial US 'looksmaxxer' has ripped into some of Australia's most prominent politicians, claiming appearance matters when it comes time to be elected. Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, has made a name for himself by telling young men they can achieve physical 'improvements' using measurements, ratios, syringes and an extreme method called 'bonesmashing', a practice where young men are encouraged to hit their faces with a hammer in an attempt to alter bone structure. In a video posted by Australian TikTok star Jon-Bernard Kairouz on Monday, Clavicular, 20, went after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Pauline Hanson, and former Opposition leader Peter Dutton. 'He's just an "old cell" really, so there's not much you can do once you're into your 60s and 70s,' Clavicular said when shown a picture of Albanese, who has just turned 63. 'Everyone ages, it's an unavoidable process, you can slow it down, but it's just inevitable, really.' He then offered some unsolicited advice to Hanson, suggesting the One Nation leader must grow out her hair to appear 'more feminine'. 'Just a bad hairstyle, she's overly masculine I would say already, with her jaw and chin, so to have a suboptimal masculine hairstyle on top of that is definitely unideal,' Clavicular said. 'So, maybe something more feminine would be the best place to start.' Clavicular appeared in a video with Australian TikTok star Jon-Bernard Kairouz this week Clavicular said Albanese was 'just an old cell really' and couldn't do anything more to improve his looks due to his age He was also asked to work out who he thought won the 2025 Federal election based on the profiles of Albanese and Peter Dutton, later correctly guessing Albanese's win. '[Looksmaxxing] is one of the most decisive factors [in getting elected],' he said. 'It's not even about policy anymore. Once politics became televised, it became entirely about looks so it's literally a mog competition.' He then addressed a photo of Dutton: 'It's over for you.' Clavicular suggested political parties must steer clear from appointing women or bald men candidates, if they want to get elected. Some of Hollywood's leading Aussies also didn't escape unscathed. Clavicular said he was 'cherry-picking' when he pulled apart Margot Robbie's profile, suggesting her main flaw was that her jaw was 'a bit too masculine.' 'But this is someone who is in the top percentile in looks so it's just cherry-picking to its highest degree,' he added when Mr Kairouz appeared shocked at his comment. The unremarkable man suggests self improvement 'methods' to improve physical appearance He said Pauline Hanson should grow out her hair if she wanted to appear 'more feminine' He boldly said 'It was over' for former Opposition leader Peter Dutton when commenting on his profile Clavicular also claimed Chris Hemsworth could get more movie roles if he fixed his 'PFL', or palpebral fissure length, which refers to the horizontal length of the eye opening. 'His main flaw is his PFL, the width of his eyes is quite narrow as you can see, so if he had a bit wider of a PFL it would contribute to the mog more,' he said, referring to the practice of dominating other men by being more sexually attractive. '[Hugh Jackman] looks like his face is a bit short, especially in the jaw. You know, the 'chin to philtrum' [ratio] is a little bit off. So he could get a down graft, and his under-eye region is starting to migrate. Those two things would be a great place to start.' Clavicular, who claims he picks up 'unavailable' women on the streets of Miami, said he also thinks Australian men shouldn't use dating apps to find their partner. He believes Aussies shouldn't support a sports team, surf, camp, have beers at the pub with friends, or join a running club as they are 'just not worth it.' 'The average person that you'd meet in a run club will not be of any value,' Clavicular said.  'People who wear sports jerseys with other people's names on it, you're just a fat loser, sitting there drinking beer watching sports.' It's not the first time Clavicular has made headlines in recent days after he stormed out of an interview with Channel 9 when questioned about his link to incels. Clavicular also made headlines this week with his bizarre interview on 60 Minutes  Clavicular (left) stood up from the interview when asked about Tate (right) and told Hegarty, 'I didn't have time to look into who your wife cheated with' Incels, or involuntary celibates, are men who blame women for their lack of a sex life. The misogynistic aspects of both communities view dating as a blood sport where only the most ruthless, and shallowest, will win. When 60 Minutes reporter Adam Hegarty asked Clavicular about his link to incels, he immediately became defensive.  'I'm not linked to that group in any way,' Clavicular said. '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.' However, the interview further deteriorated when Hegarty asked him about Andrew Tate - a self-proclaimed 'misogynist' influencer who is set to stand trial for alleged human trafficking in Romania. Clavicular immediately cut short the interview, saying, 'All right, have a nice day' before standing up and walking over to his livestream setup. 'Are you trying to - I see, you wanna make this political,' he said. 'Too bad I didn't have time to look into anything about potentially, you know, who your wife cheated with, but don't try to go down that line of questioning with me. I'm not doing anything political.' Hegarty replied he wasn't married. 'Maybe you gotta looksmax. I could teach you about looksmaxxing and then maybe you could switch that up,' Clavicular said. The odd attempt at an insult fell flat on Hegarty, which only seemed to make him more frustrated.  Clavicular later told his followers: 'Of course, Tate's my boy and we're going to be doing a collab soon.'
