Bait him with something, if he is into game introduce him in Lua. I got into programming because I was into websites, and I've met a friend who's into design and I did programming and he did design.
My nephew is interested in making games for Roblox for example.
I think we are beyond the generation of interest in the baremetal, I learned programming in mid 2000s, I spent just a short time with desktop programs, but was enchanted by the idea of making dynamic websites right after, it was enchanting that I can make something interactive that all the world can interact with. The fact that it was easy to show it to others (a URL) made it nice too, handing people an .exe in 2000s doesn't look nice.
Also being passionate in front of him and talking about what you like in programming would help, because that's how my brother got into it. Me broxplaining stuff to him.
In general just open the doors for him, he might love a language more than other.
