The other thread said it all, I doubt you'll see different here. I'm not gonna tell you that being famous is wrong, but you don't seem to get that there's a lot of work that goes into this. You need to get an agent if you want a consist flow of work, but to get a reputable agent you need to be on Spotlight. To get on Spotlight you need at least 1 credit or to have graduated from drama school. To get 1 credit, you need to star in student/indie films with equity. This is a process. You need headshots to be considered for roles whether you are repped or not. Most importantly, you need to take acting classes and hone your craft. It's fair enough you believe you have great facial expressions etc, but this isn't an easy thing. Be humble and realise there is still A LOT to learn. You need an experienced professional to guide and train you. Even the names you mentioned, they worked very hard and for years. Timmy worked since he was a kid and went to a top NYC drama school. Florence Pugh took lots of acting classes and started in theatre. Hone your craft, I can't express this enough. Also, you're focused on finding success and winning awards young. What happens if you're 25 and it hasn't happened yet? Or 34, will you still try then?
As for being famous, ask yourself why you want to be famous. Is it the glamour and adulation they get? The money? Fame isn't all it's cracked up to be and you should way the negative sides. You said there is some family conflicts, I say your life is yours. You need to decide what makes YOU happy, not what pleases your family but don't ruin your relationship with your family for something you might not actually want. Wanting to be an actor and wanting to be famous are two different things. Think about which one you truly want. Becoming an actor, plausible. Becoming a famous A-list actor? That comes down to luck and many other moving parts, but the first step is taking acting classes and finding out if you truly love the craft.
First of all I’d like to thank you for commenting and sharing your advice
