American actor Joel Kim Booster feels pressure to maintain his appearance. He shared this in an interview with GQ magazine.

Booster acted in series like Shrill and Loot. He also wrote the film script for Fire Island. When his career took off, he became known for his muscular body.

The 38-year-old actor says the pressure doesn't come only from Hollywood. He also demands much from his own appearance. "That feeling doesn't just disappear," he said.

Although he is no longer a young rising talent, his body image still defines his brand. Booster finds this quite difficult himself.
