He was unknown one day and the next he was famous.

How can I say this? Is this natural?

Maybe: He was famous one day to the next.

Thanks

No. Philip has already given you a good option, so why have you just repeated your original mistake?

The point was to use from one day to the next that's why I asked.

Then it would be more pleasant for all of us if you stated your 'point' in the beginning.

No, of course not; there are no sudden changes. You must use common sense (which seems to elude you) to understand that fame is a single change.
