* ''Film/EddieTheEagle'' (2016) as Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards

He's extremely popular in East Asia, especially South Korea. South Koreans have bestowed the FanNickname "Kim Taron" upon him; "Kim" being the most common surname in SK, indicating the citizens see him as an honorary Korean. Sometimes written as a fake Romanization of a Korean name, i.e. "Kim Tae Ron."

* AwesomeMcCoolName: He's called ''Thunder'' ("Taran" being a Welsh word for thunder)!

* WalkingShirtlessScene: He's been shirtless in a lot of his films, often for [[MrFanservice Fanservice]] reasons but not always. (In ''Eddie The Eagle,'' his shirtlessness is used to highlight how physically unfit Eddie [[HollywoodPudgy supposedly is.]])

* AuthorAppeal: He's expressed a desire to defy {{Typecasting}}, but has said that he's drawn to character roles as opposed to the typical generic one-dimensional eye candy archetype. Indeed, his roles tend to be wildly different from each other and heavy on characterisation, but what most of them have in common is that they are usually [[{{Heroes}} heroic]], [[ActorInspiredElement from a]] [[CapitalismIsBad working-class background]], [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs or]] [[WorkingClassHero Working-Class Heroes]].

* BeautyMark: On his neck.

* {{Fanboy}}: Of so, so many things and people. His excitable enthusiasm (even towards people he works with) is among his trademarks as a public figure. He's an unabashed fanboy for ''Franchise/StarWars'', musician [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson_Paak Anderson Paak]], actress [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zawe_Ashton Zawe Ashton]], [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse the Marvel cinematic universe]], Creator/DavidBowie, Creator/EdgarWright, Creator/GaryOldman, [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney]], ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''... and so forth.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: He was in talks for the character of Cyclops in the ''[[Film/XMenFilmSeries X-Men]]'' reboots and the eponymous Han Solo in ''[[Film/SOlo Solo]]''. These roles went to Creator/TyeSheridan and Creator/AldenEhrenreich instead, respectively.

* ImportantHaircut: [[DyeingForYourArt He actually messed up his hairline to play Elton for]] ''Film/{{Rocketman|2019}}'' and shortly shaved all of his hair off in an effort to repair it to some extent. But he'd also been going through a break-up at the time, and stated in an interview he was also very much trying to "shave that girl out of [his] hair." ([[BreakUpMakeUpScenario His status as a single dude lasted a mere]] ''[[BreakUpMakeUpScenario four months,]]'' [[BreakUpMakeUpScenario by the way, before he got back together with his girlfriend.]])
