Because it would be a) Massive - 100 times what our Sun is. b) It wouldn't contain any metals and c) it would have burnt out billions of years ago.

Is the now sun the first sun since the universe was first created?
I take it you mean "is our Sun still the original one". NO.We know, (or clever folk do), that a Star of the size of our sun can only manufacture elements up to the mass of iron. And our Sun cannot manufacture Carbon!Nucleosysthesis is the study of the energy/temperatures and time required for creating the elements from existing material. We know that the creation of Carbon for example can only take place in the explosion of a supernova.Even the Big Bang did not last long enough at the needed temperatures for three Helium atoms to simultaneously collide to form a Carbon atom.So our Sun is at least a 2nd generation star, and maybe a 3rd generation one!.So you have much star material in your being.
