An adult star and “looksmaxxing” influencer was found dead just weeks after filming the newly released docuseries chronicling another death within the toxic internet subculture.
OnlyFans creator Connor Murphy, who made a name for himself as a fitness influencer and looksmaxxing guru, drowned in Thailand on July 7, 2026, four weeks after filming Get Huge: Looksmaxxing to Death.
Murphy appears in the three-part true crime docuseries for Hulu and Disney+ which follows the rise of supposed biohacking expert and Murphy’s mentor Anthony Hughes, known by his online persona Dr. Tony Huge. Get Huge is set against the backdrop of the lookmaxxing community — an internet subculture where men go to extreme lengths in the pursuit of physical perfection — and delves into the mysterious death of penis-enlargement expert Leo & Longevity, whose real name is Leif Abdullah Algaz.
Murphy was found dead of an apparent drowning in a lake behind his home in Thailand on July 7, just weeks after Get Huge wrapped filming in June 2026. The 32-year-old looksmaxxer had been “exhibiting increasingly erratic behavior, including claiming that he was gaining superpowers after injecting gold into his bloodstream,” Time reports.
Murphy was one of many young men Hughes took under his wing. Evidence of their friendship can still be found on Murphy’s Instagram account, where they posted a video of the two men playfully smashing each other’s jaws — a technique used by people in the looksmaxxing community like controversial influencer Clavicular to improve their jawline.
Clavicular may be the face of the looksmaxxing community, but before his rise to dubious fame, Hughes was laying the groundwork for the movement that is obsessed with extreme biohacking like taking risky peptides, steroids, illegal drugs, and bone smashing all in the pursuit of bigger muscles, large penises, and more masculine features, with the supposed end goal of attracting women.
The docuseries follows Hughes and the looksmaxxing community he surrounds himself with at his compound in Pattaya, Thailand, and investigates a series of deaths within his inner circle, including Algaz, whose mysterious death remains unsolved after his body was found in a bathroom at Hughes’ compound with blunt-force trauma to the head.
At the time Get Huge was released on Nov. 10, Murphy’s death was still thought to be an accident. Murphy’s death is addressed in the docuseries, where Elon Muscular, a fellow content creator and mentee of Huge, speaks out about his sadness at the loss of a friend.
“I lost my best friend. It’s not a relationship that gets built overnight,” Muscular said. “We invested so much into our friendship, and it just sucks to not have him around. The movie and influencing and the movement and whatever he wanted to change, none of it is worth a friend, to me.”
Get Huge: Looksmaxxing to Death is streaming on Hulu and Disney+ now.
