Yagi headcanon! I like to think that some retired heroes go into acting, since the personification of their hero/title uses a lot of the same skills. Kind of like how WWE performers sometimes go into acting. Yagi decides to eventually try it out and everyone is VERY surprised +
that he's actually pretty damn good at it. He'd done commercial gigs as All Might and was...notoriously difficult to work with. The man just couldn't act to save his life, but Yagi? He ends up in a few big films (and not because of his status). He has to explain in an interview +
that while All Might was still very much him, he amplified it by quite a bit and vowed to always exude boisterous, confident charm outside of very specific, very rare scenarios. So when it comes to acting? He can only be a boisterous, confident man trying to be serious. It just+
doesn't work. What he doesn't tell the public is that he's also set up a pretty intricate set of lies from the getgo about his life as Normal Humanman Yagi Toshinori, as well as "All Might who has Always Had His Powers and DId Not Get it Passed Down". The facades are shows in +
themselves: the ultimate in method acting. Plus he took some acting classes here and there when he was still in school 🤷‍♂️. He obviously gets a lot of coaching to be more professional, but ends up being a very popular actor! I also just like the idea of him deciding to audition +
for the antagonist roll in a horror movie of some kind as his first film to really break himself even further away from people thinking he's gotta always act like All Might still. He has the time of his life in this roll and the only comparison I can think of is the VA for
Doraemon ending up taking the roll of Monokuma in Dangan Ronpa?? Regardless, I just want retired Yagi to take up acting and have a fucking fantastic time of it,,,
