- Matthew Mitcham was born on March 2, 1988 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. He is an actor, known for We All Lie My Darling (2021), SAS Australia (2020) and The Pool (2019).
- Won a diving gold medal for Australia in the men's 10 metre platform event at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the first Australian to win an Olympic diving gold medal since Dick Eve at the 1924 Paris games.
- His near-perfect final dive in the men's 10 metre platform event at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, which was scored as a perfect 10 by four judges, achieved a score of 112.10, the highest single dive score in Olympic Games history.
- Australia Post issued a 50 cent stamp of him on 26 September 2008, one day after his gold medal win at the Beijing Olympic Games.
- It's absolutely surreal. I never thought that this would be possible, I wasn't even sure of my medal chances at all. After I did my last dive and I saw I was in first, I thought, "That's it, it's a silver medal, I am so happy with this' and then I won. I can't believe it, I'm so happy.
