- He fell from a tree in Tarzana, California and broke his arm directly prior to starting filming on The Lord of the Flies. The producers wanted him for the lead so badly that they wrote the broken arm into the script. Getty can be seen throughout most of the film sporting a cast.
- His father, J. Paul Getty III, was the victim in one of the 20th century's most sensational kidnappings. While on vacation in 1973, he was kidnapped by the Italian mafia. When his family balked at paying the $3.4 million ransom demanded, the gangsters sliced off their captive's right ear and mailed it to a newspaper. Finally, his father (J. Paul Getty, Jr.) and his grandfather sent the money, and Paul Getty was finally released.
- Great-grandson of famous billionaire Jean Paul Getty.
- As a child his family called him Little Buddha because he had a red birthmark in the center of his forehead and he rarely smiled.
- Has been a fashion model for Versace, Calvin Klein & Tommy Hilfiger.
- [on being part of the famous Getty family] I didn't get teased much about it in school, because it was a slightly older generation who knew about it. I really didn't know what it was to be a Getty. I had a pretty modest upbringing.
- Four Dogs Playing Poker (2000) - $50,000
