Weir started skating at age 12 after watching it on television and felt inspired by the performance of 1994 Olympic Champion Oksana Baiul. He landed his first triple jump within a year and made it to the Junior Olympics in both freestyle and pairs (with Jodi Rudden) on the juvenile level in his first year of skating. Weir won the 2001 Junior World Championships, the first time he participated in the event. Weir practised equestrian sports but gave it up in order to focus on skating. He has a brother (four years his junior). Weir starred in a documentary film and upcoming reality series about himself "Pop Star on Ice". He idolizes Christina Aguilera, Irina Slutskaya and Lady Gaga. Weir speaks French and Russian and has a small fashion line in South Korea. He has worked as a model in magazines and on runways. Coach Viktor Petrenko is the 1992 Olympic Champion. Weir's Free Skating is titled "Fallen Angel".
