    • On June 12 2007, Matthew was convicted of punching and pushing his former girlfriend, actress Brooke Satchwell and placed on a 12-month good behaviour bond after pleading guilty to common assault. After appealing the conviction in July 2007, a Sydney judge quashed the assault conviction against him.
    • On 16th January, 2007, Nova FM radio station released Matt from his contract, believed to be worth up to $200,000 a year.
    • Sub-standard coverage, simulated sex, bad language and gross innuendo had Channel Ten's inaugural coverage of the 2006 New Year party being labelled the worst ever. The harshest criticism was reserved for the antics of Matt, who appeared on The John Foreman Show. Matt simulated oral sex with John Foreman while the two sat at a piano, with many people claiming Matt also appeared to be affected by alcohol.

    • Matt: (on the ups & downs of trying to make it as an actor in Australia) I don't think about it, really. When I'm working, it's the best job in the world. Any stress you get is certainly less than I imagine a mum has who is trying to feed five kids every night!
    • Matt: I was always going to be an actor. It was a given.
    • Matt: (on the appeal of the show, Thank God You're Here) There is a purity to that kind of format. You just to let go of so many things because you don't have any time for them when you're up there for three and a half minutes having been thrown into this scenario. I approach it like an actor – trying to work out the circumstances and how I can play a character within those circumstances – and that's the trick I've discovered for myself. If you approach a comedy trying to be funny, you're in a lot of trouble. My favourite comedies are the ones played absolutely straight, so that's the trick I've learnt.
