Late last year, Jackson spotted talent in a young, handsome internet personality known as Clavicular, who lives in Miami.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I thought that he had what it took to be a star, so we approached him. I very rarely do that. He had the right factors to be his generation&rsquo;s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian, but as a male.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, may not be a household name in the Australian suburbs, but he became an online sensation and a fixture of Miami&rsquo;s party scene. He is best known as a leader of the so-called &ldquo;looksmaxxing&rdquo; movement, which promotes physical improvement through sometimes unorthodox methods, including micro-dosing illegal drugs and hammering one&rsquo;s facial bones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"sc-54c4a04e-0 yKpxh adWrapper noPrint sc-6f94ac39-3 fDyKLW\" data-testid=\"ad\"><small class=\"sc-54c4a04e-2 dhgkTF\">Advertisement<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-c502198b-0 NkURW\" readability=\"31.436018957346\">\n<p>For some, he symbolised the decay of celebrity culture &ndash; a far cry from the Hollywood icons of decades past. To Jackson, he was a sweet, naturally charismatic young man willing to take risks. Too many risks. In mid-April, Peters was hospitalised after suffering an apparent overdose during a livestream with an Australian &ldquo;looksmaxxer&rdquo; called Androgenic.<\/p>\n<p>So Jackson dropped him. &ldquo;He has drug problems &hellip; He claims he&rsquo;s sober [now], I don&rsquo;t believe that&rsquo;s the case. I have a lot of family members with drug problems, so part of it is personal.

Jackson says his sashimi salad is &ldquo;great&rdquo;, and I don&rsquo;t press for more detail. Jackson does not give off foodie vibes; he refused to be photographed eating (public relations 101), and our photographer, Audrey, opted to shoot the meals away from our table.<\/p>\n<p>This sense that institutions &ndash; Hollywood, the Democrats, many legacy media outlets &ndash; are behind the times and severely lagging the culture pervades Jackson&rsquo;s worldview. But he is right: the growth of new media in the US is astronomical, and conservative-leaning or right-coded personalities tend to dominate.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"sc-c8170ed7-0 kBAoLZ noPrint\" data-testid=\"related-story\">\n<h2 data-testid=\"related-story-heading\" class=\"sc-c8170ed7-1 iHMtRN\">Related Article<\/h2>\n<div class=\"sc-679b6ed4-0 VKgwt\" data-an-position=\"1\" imagepositions=\"top\" data-testid=\"story-tile\">\n<figure imagesizes=\"[object Object]\" class=\"sc-8825a2fb-0 kZkxVd\">\n<div class=\"sc-d34e428-0 ikzfwY\"><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.ffx.io\/images\/$zoom_0.3311111111111111%2C$multiply_0.2805%2C$ratio_1.777778%2C$width_1059%2C$x_0%2C$y_0\/t_crop_custom\/q_86%2Cf_auto\/73adc244f7e6e87f3b6b45d7b217cbbb014aedf5, https:\/\/static.ffx.io\/images\/$zoom_0.3311111111111111%2C$multiply_0.5609%2C$ratio_1.777778%2C$width_1059%2C$x_0%2C$y_0\/t_crop_custom\/q_62%2Cf_auto\/73adc244f7e6e87f3b6b45d7b217cbbb014aedf5 2x\"><source media=\"(min-width: 750px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.ffx.io\/images\/$zoom_0.3311111111111111%2C$multiply_0.2842%2C$ratio_1.777778%2C$width_1059%2C$x_0%2C$y_0\/t_crop_custom\/q_86%2Cf_auto\/73adc244f7e6e87f3b6b45d7b217cbbb014aedf5, https:\/\/static.ffx.io\/images\/$zoom_0.3311111111111111%2C$multiply_0.5685%2C$ratio_1.777778%2C$width_1059%2C$x_0%2C$y_0\/t_crop_custom\/q_62%2Cf_auto\/73adc244f7e6e87f3b6b45d7b217cbbb014aedf5 2x\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\" \" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.ffx.io\/images\/%24zoom_0.3311111111111111,%24multiply_0.5127,%24ratio_1.777778,%24width_1059,%24x_0,%24y_0\/t_crop_custom\/q_86,f_auto\/73adc244f7e6e87f3b6b45d7b217cbbb014aedf5\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.ffx.io\/images\/$zoom_0.3311111111111111%2C$multiply_0.5127%2C$ratio_1.777778%2C$width_1059%2C$x_0%2C$y_0\/t_crop_custom\/q_86%2Cf_auto\/73adc244f7e6e87f3b6b45d7b217cbbb014aedf5, https:\/\/static.ffx.io\/images\/$zoom_0.3311111111111111%2C$multiply_1.0255%2C$ratio_1.777778%2C$width_1059%2C$x_0%2C$y_0\/t_crop_custom\/q_62%2Cf_auto\/73adc244f7e6e87f3b6b45d7b217cbbb014aedf5 2x\" class=\"sc-d34e428-1 ioInpc\"><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The Democrats don&rsquo;t get it the way Republicans do, he tells me.
