Perhaps the last movie that needed to be Nolanized was Total Recall. The goofiness is inherent to what made that film such a hit with audiences and critics. Turning it into a self-serious meditation on the refugee crisis proved a fatal decision, and viewers noticed immediately. The Total Recall remake didn't do very well at the box office, nor did it appeal to critics and audiences. It remains one of the least remembered big-budget Hollywood movies of the post-Nolan era, where every film had to be dark and grounded. Some, like Gareth Edwards' Godzilla, worked. Others — like Total Recall and Snow White and the Huntsman— not so much.

Looksmaxxing influencer Braden Peters — better known online as Clavicular — has been at the center of several controversies.

Peters gained a substantial internet following after joining the “looksmaxxing” community, described as a group of men who “obsess over physical self-improvement in the hope that it’ll improve their dating odds,” according to a February 2026 GQ story.

In April 2026, Peters went viral when he abruptly ended and walked off the set of a sit-down with 60 Minutes Australia correspondent Adam Hegarty. Days later, Us Weekly confirmed that Peters had “suffered a suspected overdose” and had “since been hospitalized.”

Clavicular Hospitalized After Suspected Overdose

One day after his hospitalization, Peters posted a selfie to X with blood visible on his face.

“Just got home, that was brutal. All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution,” he wrote. “The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask.”

Hours later, Clavicular shared that he would be appearing at the grand opening of the Bacara nightclub in Miami, Florida.

“Hey guys, I’m all good. Bacara Club grand opening is still tonight, so I will see you guys at 12 [a.m.],” Clavicular said via his Instagram Story at the time.

Following the incident, Us confirmed that Clavicular’s rep quit. 

“Clavicular’s PR person Mitchell Jackson has quit working with the streamer until he agrees to get treatment for his addiction,” journalist Taylor Lorenz reported via X in April 2026. “Clavicular recently left the hospital against medical advice after an OD incident.”

Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza Sues Clavicular

According to court documents obtained by Us, influencer Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza filed a lawsuit against Peters for fraud, battery and causing emotional distress. Mendoza alleged that Peters wanted her to serve as the female face of looksmaxxing, and she said the two met when she was 16.

Court documents alleged that Peters had sex with Mendoza “while she was knowingly intoxicated, to the point where she was unable to give consent” and that he referred to these encounters as a “pump and dump.”

The filing further alleged that Peters wanted to inject Mendoza’s face with a product to “melt fat on her cheeks,” during which he “stated or implied that he was acting with medical authority, including by referring to himself as a doctor or otherwise holding himself out as qualified to perform the injection.” Mendoza’s attorneys argued that Peters was not authorized to inject their client in November 2026. The alleged session was livestreamed.

“Peters intentionally injected Mendoza with an unapproved drug without consent, causing physical and psychological injuries to her,” the documents stated. “Under Florida law, these acts constitute battery.”

Peters’ attorney, Steve Kramer, denied the allegations in a statement to Us. “We are aware of the complaint recently filed against Mr. Peters,” Kramer said. “These are allegations only and remain unproven. Mr. Peters denies the claims and disputes the characterization of events. He will respond through the appropriate legal channels and intends to vigorously defend himself.”

Clavicular Arrested for Misdemeanor Battery

In March 2026, Peters was arrested in Fort Lauderdale and charged with misdemeanor battery. The bond was set at $1,000. (Us reached out to Peters’ rep for comment at the time.)

Us learned that there was a fight between Peters’ girlfriend, Violet Marie Lentz, and Jenny Popach — who previously went viral for breaking into the Hype House in June 2020. Peters was present for the incident.

Clavicular Avoided Jail Time After Shooting Allegedly Dead Alligator

Hours prior to his arrest in March 2026, Peters shot an already-dead alligator in the Florida Everglades during a livestream. Us understands that the alligator was dead when the influencer received permission from the boat’s driver to shoot it.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was made aware of the incident and issued a statement. “The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator,” the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a statement on X.

In May 2026, Peters was sentenced to six months of probation. He pleaded no contest to the charge of unlawfully discharging a firearm in public and avoided jail time as part of the plea agreement. The influencer must complete 20 hours of community service — which could not be livestreamed — and take a firearms safety course, per the New York Times.

If Peters follows the terms of the plea deal, the charge will be removed from his record. His lawyer, Jeffrey Neiman, said in a statement that the influencer “accepted responsibility for his conduct and reached a resolution that appropriately reflects the circumstances of this incident.”

“No individual was injured, and the alligator involved was already deceased prior to the events at issue,” he added.

Clavicular’s YouTube Channels Get Shut Down

In April 2026, Peters confirmed that two of his YouTube channels were shut down. In emails allegedly from YouTube shared by Peters, the channels were removed following “severe or repeated violations” of the website’s Community Guidelines.

“Very sad news this morning. My YouTube channels @ LiveWithClav & @ ClavLooksmax were terminated this morning with no warning or explanation,” he wrote via X at the time. “The channels consisted of livestream VODs and free courses created by me to help empower young men to be the best versions of themselves.”

“Me and my team worked hard to ensure we followed YouTube’s TOS very strictly, blurring out all inapproriate [sic] language and sensitive topics,” Clavicular’s social media post continued, tagging YouTube. “Could you please help in recovering my accounts?”

YouTube confirmed the termination in a separate statement. “We terminated the creator’s original channel back in November 2025,” a spokesperson for the platform told The Hollywood Reporter. “We removed these additional channels under our terms of service, which prohibit creating new channels after a termination.”

Clavicular Walks Off ‘’60 Minutes Australia’

In an interview that aired in April 2026, 60 Minutes Australia correspondent Hegarty asked Peters whether he identifies as an incel.

“How could you ask me that question as a follow-up after you asked me about my relationships to women? I mean, that’s quite literally the worst sequence of questions I think I’ve ever heard,” Peters said.

When Hegarty rephrased the question and pointed out that the “looksmaxxing” term originated in the incel community and asked about the associated, Peters replied, “I’m not linked to that group in any way.”

He continued, “Looksmaxxing is self improvement, right? So it’s about potentially even ascending out of that category. So that would be kind of one of the goals is to disassociate from being an incel and overcome that. So that doesn’t make sense.”

After Hegarty asked about his associations with controversial figures like Andrew Tate, Peters walked off and had his mic removed. A spokesperson for Peters told People: “When the journalist pressed him on a topic that isn’t of his expertise, Clavicular shut him down.”

Actor Anthony Guidera, who appeared in movies like The Godfather Part III, Armageddon and Species, has died at the age of 65.

Anthony’s wife, Valarie Guidera, confirmed the news to TMZ on Tuesday, June 9, telling the publication that his heart stopped suddenly while the couple were at their Los Angeles home on May 11.

Anthony was rushed to the hospital, where he was put on life support for three weeks.

Doctors later took him off life support, per his prior directive, so he could be brought home for a natural death.

Valarie told TMZ that her husband died on Saturday, June 6. His cause of death has not been revealed and Anthony’s wife said the doctors have no idea what made his heart stop.

Born in San Francisco, Anthony moved to Paris and traveled around the world for about a decade while making commercials and modeling under the name James Guidera.

His film career, however, took off in 1990 when he landed the role of a bodyguard (also named Anthony) in the third installment of the Godfather trilogy.

He later made cameo appearances on shows such as Baywatch and Valley of the Dolls before booking a role in the sci-fi horror film Species. The project earned him an MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss with his costar Natasha Henstridge.

Outside of acting, Anthony and Valarie volunteered at a “spiritual foundation” in Palos Verdes Estates, California, called Astara. The actor’s name is listed online under the organization’s volunteers.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Astara’s Reverend Anthony,” the organization wrote via Instagram on Saturday. “We are devastated and trying to breathe through the impossible, taking each moment as it comes. Please hold his eternal light in your hearts and his family in your prayers.”

Astara later conducted a special blessing and prayer during its weekly Sunday Sacred Space.

As friends and family continue to mourn Anthony’s death, Valarie is expressing her gratitude for the well-wishes surfacing online.

In response to a friend’s tribute to Anthony via Instagram, Valarie quickly shared her appreciation for the kind, thoughtful words.

“Tina and Brad — the passing of the man that holds my heart and shares my soul is devastating,” she wrote in the comments section. “Thank you for walking through life’s happier times with us, for the unforgettable celebrations, endless smiles and for being a meaningful part of our too short story.”
