Loki star Jack Veal, 17, begs fans for help as he reveals he’s ‘homeless, desperate and sleeping on the streets’
Jack Veal, star of LOKI, has made a heartfelt appeal for fans to support him as he deals with homelessness.
Born in 2007, Jack is an English actor best known for playing Kid Loki in Marvel’s 2021 Loki television series, which starred Tom Hiddleston.
In a recent video that was posted to his TikTok profile, Jack spoke up and said, “Hey. I’m a well-known actor, seventeen years old, and homeless.
“You might recognize me from my significant roles in the films Loki, End of the F***ing World, and others.
“I haven’t mentioned much about what s been going on in my life, but I think it’s time to reveal the truth,” he continued.
“Without going into too much detail, I was abused at home,” Jack added. It was mental abuse, physical violence, etc.

“My childhood wasn’t really positive. I have mental health issues. In addition to having autism and ADHD, I’m also being evaluated for psychosis and bipolar disorder.
“I can’t stay at my grandparents’ because my granddad is terminally unwell,” Jack continued to voice in the video. I need help, and I have nowhere else to go.
“Despite what I’ve informed social services, they won’t help me. I’m in a difficult situation.
“In the streets, I’ve been sleeping. I am currently sleeping in a trailer that has smashed-in windows, is unsafe, is two hours away from my work, which means I struggle to get to work every day.
‘I’M ON MY KNEES BEGGING’
“It’s challenging. Life is difficult. I don’t have anything else right now. I am on my knees begging for you guys to just share this, do something, spread the message of how the government are treating kids.”
“I need help,” Jack concluded his appeal. Please share it with as many people as you can.

“You don’t have to pay me anything, I don t need anything. I just need you to make this go as viral as possible.
“I ll continue to put some more stuff out, but, please, I need help.”
Reacting to the emotional video, one person commented in disbelief, “Woah, what?!”
‘HEARTBREAKING’
Another then said, “Wow I’m really sorry you’re experiencing this.”
“Heartbreaking. Hope things get better for you soon,” said a third.
A fourth then asked, “Why isn’t Marvel helping???”
While a fifth person wrote, “Parents taking earnings from child/young stars is ridiculously common. I did hope that protections had been put in place to stop it. I hope this gets attention.”
And another said, “It’s sick what social services do. I was homeless at 17 too and they would not help me. I now fear my future is forever unstable.”
Someone else then asked a question to the former Loki star, “Hi Jack. Have you spoken to your agent?”
To which he replied, “Not yet! Should I give it a go?”
While another asked, “So if you’re a famous actor, how do you not have money?”
