Is an avid surfer, and does so as often as possible.
Began working with Dominic Monaghan on a script about two English lads who open a scuba diving school in Miami.

He was the teens choice for host of the European MTV awards in 2002.
During college, he worked in a pizza hut, a bar and a comedy club to make ends meet.
When he was first cast in The Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson asked him to tone down his Scottish accent, but found that the funny parts just weren't as funny without it, so Boyd was allowed to use his regular Scottish accent. Jackson and the writers then consulted The Hobbit. Bilbo Baggins's mother was a Took, and one of their ancestors had, according to the book, invented the game of golf. Since golf is of Scottish origin, they reasoned that Tolkien must have, therefore, intended for the Tooks to be Scottish.
