He’s best known for his role as Declan Brady on the beloved Irish soap opera Hollyoaks, a performance that really put him on the map. He also made a memorable appearance in a 2014 episode of the hit historical drama series Vikings, further expanding his acting repertoire. Before he became famous, he spent much of his childhood tagging along with his actor father to the set of another iconic British soap, Coronation Street. Those early experiences sparked a deep interest in acting and helped shape his future path. In fact, he made his debut on Hollyoaks at just fifteen years old—pretty impressive for someone so young. Born to Lisa Smith Duffy and the multi-talented Keith Duffy, who’s not only an actor but also a former member of the pop group Boyzone, he grew up in Dublin, Ireland. He shares a close bond with his sister Mia, and together they navigated their upbringing in a creatively rich household. His journey from those early days in Dublin to becoming a recognizable face on screen shows how passion, combined with a little family influence, can go a long way. And honestly, it’s no surprise that he found his calling in entertainment—being around it from such a young age clearly left its mark.
