Glen Powell will never play James Bond for a very clear reason

Specifically, Powell said:

“I’m Texas. Texas should not play James Bond. (…) My family is wandering, I can play Jimmy Bond, but I shouldn’t play James Bond. Get an authentic British for this position. This is what belongs to this evening.”

Powell’s comment on Jimmy Bond may be a reference to the 1954 episode of the American TV series “Climax!” This is “Royal Casino” from Ian Fleming on the small screen. This TV episode was characterized by an American 007 called Jimmy Bond, played by Barry Nelson. Since then, no Americans have played James Bond, and some fans will feel that the American League will be offensive; As he feels, the character should be an authentic British.

It should be noted that not every representative of James Bond was an “authentic British”. Sean Conry, who played James Bond in seven films, was a Scottish man born in Edinburgh. David Nevin, who played the character In 1967, “Casino Royal”, The wild, comedy, on James Bond, was already British; He was born in London. However, this film displays many of the characters that carry the Games Bond cloak, including Peter Cells (Britain), Joanna Betit (Canadian), Dalia Lavi (Israeli), Woody Allen (American), and Parbra Bushit (German Italian). George Laznby Bond played in 1969 “to serve the secret Her Majesty,” an Australian baby in Gulberren.

Roger Moore was born in London, which made him the second British to treat the role, but behind him, Timothy Dalton, born in Wales. James Bond was born during the nineties, Pierce Prosnan, in Ireland. Daniel Craig, who ended his term with the role in 2021, is only one of the British playing the part, after being born in Cheshire.

While the character descends from England, actors come from all over the islands and all over the world. Powell may not want to play the part, but there is no reason that Texas should not play the role if he is convincing enough.
