An American influencer known for 'looksmaxxing' - using questionable and even dangerous methods to maximise appearance - has stormed out of an interview with an Australian reporter.
Braden Eric Peters, known as Clavicular online, has made a name, and a fortune, for himself by stirring controversy on social media. He is said to rake in as much as $100,000 a month.
He has reportedly used methamphetamine to 'suppress appetite', and regularly taps a hammer on his face for 'bone-smashing' under the pseudoscientific claim it makes bones heal stronger. He has taken testosterone since he was 14.
Peters' beliefs centre on the idea that appearance is the basis for all success, particularly when it comes to getting attention from women.
It's a belief the looksmaxxing community shares with incels, or involuntary celibates, who are men who blame women for their non-existent sex lives.
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 20-year-old Peters about the link to incels, he immediately became defensive.

'I'm not linked to that group in any way,' Peters said of incels.
'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 Peters about Andrew Tate.
Tate is a self-proclaimed 'misogynist' influencer who is set to stand trial for alleged human trafficking in Romania.
He was spotted at a nightclub in Miami with Peters and white nationalist commentator Nick Fuentes in January.
Tate and Peters also filmed a gym video together in February.
But on Sunday's 60 Minutes, Peters abruptly ended his interview with Hegarty as soon as Tate was mentioned.
'You've obviously shared company with Andrew Tate and other, dare I say, rather controversial figures,' Hegarty said.

'Why do you spend time with people like that?'
Peters 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,' Peters 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.'
As he stood up to go, Peters added: 'Thanks for your time, appreciate the interview.'
The odd attempt at an attack fell flat on Hegarty, which only seemed to make Peters more frustrated.
As he returned to his livestream, which had filmed throughout the 60 Minutes interview, he continued ranting about the Aussie reporter.
Peters (pictured during a livestream) later clarified to his viewers, 'We've got no problem associating with Andrew Tate'
'What a slimy bastard. That guy, piece of s***. I didn't like him,' Peters told his viewers.
And just in case his viewers were confused about Peters' relationship with Tate, he added: 'Of course, Tate's my boy and we're going to be doing a collab soon.'
