Clavicular has just made his runway debut at Paris Fashion Week, and actor François Arnaud had some brutal words to say about the influencer.

In the past year, Clavicular, real name Braden Peters, has blown up in popularity. The self-proclaimed looksmaxxer has made his way from the fringe parts of the internet into the mainstream, despite several controversies, including running a man over on stream and allegedly injecting his then-underage girlfriend with aesthetic enhancements.

Now, the 20-year-old has made his Paris Fashion Week debut, walking for the 424 Spring/Summer collection. Lots of people have voiced their disapproval of Clavicular being at this event, including one viral video of someone flipping him off as he walks past. Included in this backlash is none other than François Arnaud, who plays Scott Hunter in Heated Rivalry.

“When you hit your head too hard with the hammer, and you’ve gotten rotten ideas but also the charisma of drywall,” the Canadian actor commented on a post of Clavicular walking the runway.

The influencer would be the first to admit his lack of charisma, which has been evident throughout his Paris streams. In one stream, he was filmed failing to talk to multiple girls.

“You know I have the worst game, so I don’t claim ever to be something I am not,” Clavicular said during the stream. “I am not a f–ing pick up artist, I am a f—ing artist, I will tell you everything you need to know about looksmaxxing, but going up to chicks is not my speciality.”

The clips quickly went viral, prompting the looksmaxxer to acknowledge the situation on his X account.

“I say all the time my game with women is god awful, but at least I have the nerve to practice approaching,” he said in a follow-up statement. “Love the women of Paris, super classy and respectful. Trying to conversationmax so I can be well-rounded.”
