Aidan Turner provides examples of the following tropes:
- Anti-Hero: Often plays characters with a great degree of moral ambiguity, or at least a distinct Jerkass edge.
- Brown Eyes
- Carpet of Virility: His chest hair has a fanbase of its own.
- Mr. Fanservice: He's already being referred to by his Hobbit co-stars as "sexy dwarf" and "the hot one".
- Perma-Stubble: When he isn't rocking a Badass Beard.
- Tall, Dark and Handsome
- Unkempt Beauty
- Vampires Are Sex Gods: His performance in Being Human (UK) helped to solidify this idea into the minds of British females.
