He wrote the most successful musical of the decade thus far and became a millionaire pretty much overnight. He then wrote the music for one of the best Disney films in recent memory, and is about to star in another film. I've been following Lin for years and he's always been nothing but ambitious and looking towards the stars, even before In the Heights was successful.
I mean, about thirty of his life goals were realized over the course of two years. And maybe that has gotten to his head a little bit (I wouldn't really go that far personally, but I can see how people would think that), but it's not like it's unwarranted. If anyone deserves bragging rights about their recent successes, it's him. "
Honestly, unless people were expecting him to refuse nominations, awards and honors and constantly talk down on himself I don't know what people thought would be suitably modest for someone in his situation. To me he seems almost entirely unchanged from his pre-Hamilton days. Still very active on Twitter, communicating with his fanbase day in day out, still has largely the same group of friends. He stage doored Hamilton until it became impossible to do so. Constantly praising his peers and their work and promoting it to his 1.4mil Twitter followers. Admits his faults as much as he admits his accomplishments. Don't see the issue.
