Career

Modelling

Heuston was working as a bartender during first year at university when he was scouted to be a model.[4][5] After some thought, he explored photography and style then started seriously posting to Instagram and YouTube where he quickly became a sought after content creator.[4][5] Heuston has worked on campaigns for major brands such as Fendi, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, David Jones and Burberry among many others.[1][4][5][6] He was invited to sit in the front row of the Milan and Shanghai catwalk for Tommynow Drive by Tommy Hilfiger and did a meet and greet for the brand in Sydney.[5][7][8][9]

In 2018, he made his Australian Fashion Week debut walking for the brand 'Justin Cassin'.[5]

In 2020, Heuston was part of a campaign for Bumble in Australia where his dating profile was featured and encouraged "virtual dating" during the pandemic.[10]

Acting

Heuston stated that he was betrayed by his own shyness and never pursued drama while at school.[4] After featuring in the music video for Super Cruel's song "Sicklaced" with Cartia Mallan in 2017,[11] Heuston fell in love with acting and started classes.[4][12]

Heuston's screen acting debut came in the Network 10 teen thriller series Dive Club, starring alongside Miah Maddern and Georgia-May Davis, which aired on Network 10 in Australia followed by an international Netflix release.[4][13][14] The series is set in the fictional seaside town of Cape Mercy and focuses on a group of school girl ocean divers. Heuston plays the part of Henry, the towns resident sad boy with a heart of gold.[4] The series was filmed on the Great Barrier Reef in Port Douglas, Queensland.[1]

Heuston had a small non-speaking role in Thor: Love and Thunder as a Zeus Pretty Boy.[15] He played Dusty in Heartbreak High (2022–2024), a Netflix reboot of the 1990s series of the same name.[16] In December 2022, it was announced that Heuston has been cast as Constantine Corrino in the 2024 HBO Dune prequel television series, Dune: Prophecy.[17]
