in my memory, adult MC was a top tier actor too right but a late bloomer or something ? i feel like young MC keeps making us think adult MC was shitty at his job and could only win a best supporting actor at his peak ?
If I'm not wrong, I think that was a translator issue (but yes he was a late bloomer - he went through a
lot of shit before he hit stardom)
IIRC what happened was: normally, only the lead/main actors in a movie win Best Actor (supporting actors would win Best Supporting Actor, aptly), but he won Best Actor in a movie where he was a supporting actor; MC just keeps referring to that moment because he committed suicide not long after
Popular actors sometimes play supporting actors to other leads, and vice versa (e.g. Brad Pitt, who's obviously a massive movie star, was one of many supporting actors to Chiwetel Ejiofor's lead role in
12 Years a Slave) so just because he was in a supporting role at the time doesn't mean he himself wasn't a superstar
I could be wrong and misunderstood what happened, though - Odin Scans' translation was
rough lmao
