Boyle was born in west Belfast, and attended De La Salle College until he was expelled at age 16, to get hired and fired a week later from a night club for underage drinking. He then went to St Louise's Comprehensive College, and in 2013, began training at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff before graduating in 2016 with a BA (Hons) in acting. He started his acting career in a production of 'Romeo and Juliet'–a production he describes as "the worst productions you've ever seen."
One of his good friends is fellow Irish actress Lola Petticrew.
