The king of the “looksmaxxing” online bubble, Brendan Eric Peters, aka Clavicular, has once again sent Aussies into a cortisol spike.
You’d think the 20-year-old Peters would stay far away from Aussie interviewers after the 60 Minutes Australia fiasco, in which he stormed out of an interview with reporter Adam Hegarty when asked if he was an incel. Still, YouTuber Jon-Bernard Kairouz managed to get him to sit down for the full chat and ask some of the toughest questions yet.
The interview included a segment where Peters brutally judged the looks of influential Australian figures and pointed out where they could “looksmaxx” harder.

He rated movie stars like Margot Robbie, Chris Hemsworth and Hugh Jackman, but things took an unexpectedly political turn when he was shown a headshot of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Peters said, “Well, he’s just an old cell really. There’s not much you could do once you’re into your 60s or 70s.”
But moments later, he gave Albanese a rare compliment when Kairouz asked, based on looks alone, who won the last election: Albanese or Peter Dutton?
Peters replied: “I would say the left,” effectively handing Albanese the win in the mog-off.
The real reason Albhanese won the election
Kairouz then put it plainly: “How much do you think looksmaxxing affects someone’s chances of getting elected?”
Peters didn’t hold back: “It’s like one of the most deciding factors. It’s not even about policy anymore.”
He went on to argue that once politics became televised, it became all about looks, calling it “literally a mog competition”.
A win is a win, though, before he turned his attention to Dutton, saying being bald ruined his chances of winning the last election.
Keeping with the political theme, Pauline Hanson arguably got the worst of it.
Asked where she could improve, Clavicular pointed to a “bad hairstyle” and said she looked overly masculine.
“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.”
The best place to start improving, or mogging, he added, would be to go for something more feminine.
60 Minutes Australia backstory
The influencer went viral across mainstream media headlines after storming off 60 Minutes Australia, following what he appeared to see as the most triggering question of his life from correspondent Adam Hegarty: whether he identified as an incel, which linked his involvement in the “manosphere” to Andrew Tate.
Peters responded: “I see you want to make this political.
“Too bad I didn’t have time to look into, you know, anything about potentially, you know, who your wife cheated with, but don’t try to go down that line of questioning with me.”
Hegarty replied: “I’m not married, Clav.”
Peters shot back: “I could teach you about looksmaxxing, and then maybe you could switch that up. Thanks for the time, appreciate the interview,” before walking off.
