Unlikely & unusual

It is his most recent, The Old Ways, that has really made this donnish, charming 36-year-old a bit of an unlikely star.

I feel that the word unlikely is similar to unusual, rare, etc. Is it correct? Can they replaceable? Thanks!

No.

It has a meaning closer to "improbable" or "not what someone would expect to happen."
