GOLD Coast tobacco tycoon and playboy Travers Beynon has posted his own satirical takeoff of a Turkish chef known as ‘Salt Bae’ who became famous this year for the flamboyant way in which he seasons meat.

In Beynon’s video posted yesterday, the controversial Gold Coast businessman known as the Candyman sprinkles salt over two near-naked women who appear to be laying on a kitchen bench.

Beynon has attracted more than 220,000 views for his video posted to Instagram and captioned “Salt Beynon” yesterday.

The video has attracted more than 1000 comments.

Social media users seem to be polarised by the stunt with many criticising Candyman for his treatment of women while others appear to revere the former model and Aussie rules footballer.

“How rediculious (sic) … this guy is the creepiest wierdo (sic)…” wrote one user.

“Beautiful mate, when’s the next party,” asked another.
