5	For some reason, most of his {{Fan Nickname}}s have to do with pastries, the most prominent example being "Precious Cinnamon Roll". A Twitter fan account made a rather creative one, "[[Series/CharliesAngels Charlie's]] [[{{Pun}} Devils]]".

31	!! Tropes associated with him:
32	* CarpetOfVirility: He's become ''so'' associated with his hairy chest that fans were disappointed to learn he'd shaved it off for ''Daredevil'' (this is mostly so that the makeup for Matt's many chest injuries is easier to apply).
33	* ConvertedFanboy: Before playing Matt Murdock, he knew very little about the character. In fact, until the day before the audition, he didn't even know that he was going to be playing a blind man. Over time, he began to read comics to prepare for the role. Now, he's not only a fan of Daredevil, but comics in general. It should be noted that he ''was'' a fan of Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles and was positively ''delighted'' to learn their origin is directly connected to Daredevil's.
34	* DamnYouMuscleMemory: He got far too used to portraying a blind man, causing him to fail a few interviews since he forgot he was supposed to look people in the eyes.
35	* FakeAmerican: For Matt Murdock.
36	* FakeIrish: For Owen Sleater and Michael Kinsella.
37	* LimeyGoesToHollywood: He temporarily settled down in the United States during the filming of ''Series/BoardwalkEmpire''. After being cast in ''Daredevil'', he has settled down in New York City for the time being, though this may be coupled with the fact that [[RomanceOnTheSet he became a father with his wife]] Samantha Thomas, a producer on ''Series/AgentsOfShield'' and the other Marvel Netflix shows.
38	* MrFanservice: In keeping with the tradition of Marvel's leading men [[ShirtlessScene taking off their shirts]] within their universe, Matt Murdock's body is on display in many episodes of ''Daredevil''. [[FanDisservice Except when it's because of Matt getting badly injured]]. Though for [[HurtComfortFic some people]], that's still {{Fanservice}}!
39	* JustForFun/OneOfUs: He's a Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles fan, to the point that he knows of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZPofH3TUqM the secret link between the Turtles' origin and Daredevil's. ]]
40	* RoleReprise: He returned as Matt Murdock in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', a few years after Netflix cancelled his show.
