An Australian social media influencer, known as “looksmaxxer” was removed from a Jetstar flight departing Thailand after cabin crew determined he was not fit to travel following recent cosmetic surgery. Brisbane-based online streamer Ronan Androgenic, 25, was escorted off the Australia-bound aircraft on Wednesday 27 May, after staff raised concerns about his condition and behaviour.

Cabin crew said Androgenic appeared drowsy and struggled to communicate clearly with airline staff shortly after boarding. Videos shared online showed him wearing compression garments around his face and neck following cosmetic procedures in Thailand, including claimed waist liposuction and buccal fat removal surgery.

Just four days before the flight, Androgenic posted a video saying he could not get out of bed without assistance and needed a walking frame to reach the bathroom. In another clip recorded onboard the aircraft, he accused Jetstar staff of removing him because he had not packed his medication in his carry-on luggage.
A male flight attendant told him: “Sir, your communication is not good and you’re not communicating with us clearly.” Crew members also referred to the fact he had surgery five days earlier and questioned whether he was well enough to fly.
Androgenic insisted his procedures were non-invasive and said he had received medical clearance to travel two days after surgery. Cabin crew responded that medical approval did not automatically mean the airline would permit him to board.
A female flight attendant told him he appeared “too tired” and “very drowsy” when answering questions. Staff also pointed to visible swelling around his face and eyes, with one attendant stating: “Your face is very ill.”
The situation escalated after Androgenic became increasingly angry and swore at staff when informed he would need to leave the aircraft. Airline employees said his conduct was disruptive to other passengers and advised that airport staff would assist him in arranging another flight.
He is reported saying 'Bro, what? What the f**k do you expect me to do? I need to go home. This is f***ing pathetic. You guys actually could have just f***ing let me lie in my f***ing chair and go to sleep.' The Australian later claimed the airline was 'imprisoning me in a foreign country' and called the flight attendants 'little dogs'.
Jetstar later confirmed it had reviewed the incident and found its employees had acted appropriately and respectfully throughout the exchange. The airline said passenger safety remained its highest priority and noted that cabin crews are trained to assess whether travellers are fit to fly.
This is not the first his controversy and follows Androgenic’s arrest in Brisbane in late April over an earlier event in Fortitude Valley on February 27. Queensland Police said the 25-year-old St Lucia man received an infringement notice for public nuisance after a viral video allegedly showed him pushing an older woman to the ground before fleeing the scene.
The Daily Mall reported that police also issued him with a one-month banning notice covering the Fortitude Valley and Brisbane City safe night precincts. No further updates have been provided regarding the airline incident or any future travel arrangements.
