'charisma of drywall': clavicular gets roasted by a television actor and apparently leaked a greece trip on stream in the same week
the paris fashion week arc has spawned two new crises and the internet is very much handling it.
clavicular's paris fashion week runway walk has now officially claimed a new victim: his reputation with the acting community. separately, a livestream from sometime after he left france allegedly contained an accidental greece reference that nobody was supposed to hear yet.
first, the actor situation. francois arnaud, known for 'heated rivalry', apparently had thoughts about clavicular's runway appearance and shared them publicly. per the express tribune's coverage, arnaud described clavicular as having the 'charisma of drywall.' chat, that is a professional actor saying that. about a man who walked a fashion week runway. the quote spread quickly and a lot of people seem to agree with it, at least based on the volume of reposts attaching it to clips of the actual walk.
the response online was split. a chunk of people found arnaud's comment funny but slightly unnecessary, pointing out that clavicular was never really there to act and that comparing runway presence to acting ability is like grading a fish on its tree-climbing. others felt arnaud had identified something real, that the entire paris arc had a performative quality that never quite landed visually despite the viral moments surrounding it.
then there is the greece thing. the times of india reported that a recent livestream appears to contain what people are calling an accidental 'leak' suggesting clavicular is heading to or already planning something in greece. the report describes it as 'awkward' without specifying exactly what was said or shown, attributing the controversy to the stream itself. the read from most of the people clipping it is that this was unintentional.
reaction to the greece situation has been more chaotic. some are treating it as evidence of a deliberate tease, the kind of ambient hype-building clavicular has done before. others are pointing out that every trip he takes now gets framed as content strategy whether or not it is, and that maybe a man is just allowed to go to greece. a smaller contingent is focused on the word 'leak' itself, arguing the clip shows nothing actually sensitive and the framing is doing most of the work.
the lore grows. paris is not even cold yet and we are apparently already boarding a new flight.
anyway. the drywall had nothing to say for itself either.
