"Hold your breath and count to Glen"
Hollywood heartthrob Glen Powell had ruled himself out of playing James Bond — because he's not a Brit.
"I'm Texan", the screenwriter and actor said. A Texan should not play James Bond. My family and I joke around. I can play Jimmy Bond, but I should not be playing James Bond. Get an authentic Brit for that job. That's who belongs in that tuxedo".
