Synnott and Knightley broke up after two years together, in the summer of 2003.

While still at school, Synnott had earned himself a reputation as class clown. Indeed school was the vehicle for him to hone his acting and performing skills. He reportedly had teachers collapsing in hysterics at his classroom antics and silly characters that he invented for himself - one being "Budder".
