Although he now describes himself as a "spiritual atheist", he was brought up in a working class Irish Catholic environment. Boyle was an altar boy for eight years and his mother had the priesthood in mind for him, but aged 14 he was persuaded by a priest not to transfer from school to a seminary. He later studied at Thornleigh Salesian College in Bolton, and studied English and Drama at Bangor University.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bangor.ac.uk/news/full-ori.php.en?Id=768 )〕 While at university, Boyle dated the actress Frances Barber.
