- He didn't know that his character in Daredevil (2015) was blind until the day before the audition.
- Gained thirty pounds of muscle for his role as Matt Murdock in Keiko Nakamura.
- He hadn't read any Daredevil comics before receiving the part of Matt Murdock/Daredevil in Daredevil (2015), but has since become a big fan of the character and comics in general. He expressed hope that Daredevil would appear in Captain America: Civil War (2016). To his disappointment, this didn't come to pass. However, he ultimately would appear as Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).
- He married one of the producers of Daredevil (2015) in 2018. They have a daughter and son. The first child was born in October 2016, and the second child was born in March 2020.
- He became a huge fan of comic books after being cast as Matt Murdock/Daredevil.
- I left Britain in the mid-1990s when TV was going down the cundie - another good Dundee word - because I wanted a film career. But as I get older, I find myself being drawn back to my roots, and I'm loving it.
- It's so easy to become obsessed with the film industry and recognition that we can forget that we are not saving the world. We are just actors trying to entertain people.
- I love New York, but I have to admit that I feel very English, and I do miss that sense of history that you have everywhere in Britain.
- Claire Danes is lovely and a really great actress.
- I'm a London lad, but I'm fascinated by America. I want to take a motorcycling trip across the country and see those wide open spaces.
