Honeysett was born in Alice Springs, Northern Territory and began ballet later in life, having proven himself a proficient gymnast and international martial arts competitor.[22][23] He became a Principal dancer with Australian Dance Theatre (ADT), and during this time toured full-length dance works throughout Europe, The United States and Japan.[24][25] Honeysett left ADT to attend the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) to pursue acting.[26][27][28][29]
