Jack Veal, the 17-year-old actor known for his portrayal of Kid Loki in Marvel’s Loki, recently revealed the heartbreaking truth about his current living situation: he is homeless and desperate for help.
Veal shared his story in a vulnerable TikTok video that has since gone viral, touching the hearts of thousands.
In the video, Veal opens up about the struggles he has faced, including fleeing an abusive household. “I was physically and emotionally abused at home,” he confessed.
“I’ve tried to get help, but I’ve been failed by everyone around me.”
The young actor explained that he now lives in a trailer with broken windows and no electricity, two hours away from his workplace in London.
Speaking candidly, Veal also revealed the mental health challenges he’s dealing with, saying, “I have autism, ADHD, and they’re screening me for bipolar and psychosis.”
“It’s not easy.”
Despite these struggles, his decision to speak out was driven by desperation.
“I’m on my knees begging for you guys to just share this, do something, spread the message of how the government is treating kids.”
Veal explained that he initially sought refuge with his grandparents, but the situation became untenable due to his grandfather’s terminal illness.
Following the viral response, Veal shared a hopeful update, revealing that social services had finally reached out to discuss potential housing solutions, including foster care.
“If it wasn’t for all of you, I wouldn’t have got anything. But they eventually called me after I had an interview with a journalist. They told me that they changed their mind.”
“They’re going to give me emergency placement, and that was all because of you. It’s been wild. It’s been so wild, but thank you all so very much. Sending you all my love; God bless you all.”
