Eyre was born in New York City, New York, the son of Dorothy Pelline (née Acton) and Edward Joseph Eyre, a banker.[1] He was sent to a public school in England at the age of twelve, and has been based in the country ever since.

Although offered a place at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art at the age of only 18, he studied acting in Paris.
