Specifically, Powell said:

"I'm Texan. Texan doesn't have to play the JamesiMs Bond.

Powell's comment on Jimi Bond may be an allusion to the 1954 episode of the US TV series "Climax!" It was adjusted by Ian Fleming's Casino Royal on the small screen. Many American 007 named Jimi Bond, played by Barry Nelson, appeared in that episode. Since then, no Americans have played the Jameseshes Bond, and some fans would feel that the American relationship would be offensive; As Powell feels, the character should be an authentic Briton.

However, it should be noted that not every JameSheim Bond actor was not an "authentic Briton". John Connery, who starred in the Jamesei Bond in seven films, was a Scottish man born in Edinburgh. David theirs, who played the character At Casino Royal in 1967, Casino Royal, The Wild, Comic Riff of the Jameseims Bond, was really British; Born in London. However, that film has many characters who take over the Jameseims Bond mantle, including Peter Sellers (British), Annaoana Petit (Canadian), Dalia Lavi (Israel), Woody Allen (American) and Barbara Bushe (Italian-German). George Lazeni played Bond in "At the Secret Service of Her Majesty", and he is an Australian born in Gulburn.

Roger Moore was born in London, making him a second Briton to resolve the role, but his successor Timothy Dalton was born in Wales. And the era of the 90's Jameseims Bond, Pierce Brosnan, was born in Ireland. Daniel Craig, who ended his mandate in 2021, is one of only a few Britons playing the role, born in Cheshir.

While the character is greeted by England, the actors greet the islands and around the world. Powell may not want to play the role, but there is no reason Texan not to play the role if he is convincing enough.
