Jack Veal, who played a young Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently revealed he is homeless after suffering abuse at home.
Veal appeared in 2021’s season one of the TV series Loki as the 14-year-old version of the main character.
Earlier this week, Veal, now 17, posted a video to TikTok in which he told his fans he had left home due to the physical and emotional abuse he had been enduring.
He said, “I’m a famous actor, 17, and I’m homeless. You may know me from ‘Loki’, ‘The End of the F—ing World’ or various other movies where I played important roles.”
He continued, “I haven’t mentioned much about what’s been going on in my life, but I think it’s time to reveal the truth. Without delving too much into the details, I was abused at home. It was physical violence, emotional abuse and etcetera.”
Veal said, “I’ve been sleeping in the streets. 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.”
He further detailed, “I didn’t have a very good upbringing. I’ve struggled with mental health. I have autism, ADHD, and am being screened for bipolar and psychosis.”
He implored viewers to share his video in order for him to receive aid from the UK government; “I need help. Please share, please share it with whoever 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.”
Veal’s pleas were successful, as his videos went viral, and on Tuesday, he shared with everyone he had gotten a call from social services about him potentially being placed in foster care.
He thanked his supporters: “I don’t know what you guys have done, but it’s gotten out there and it’s really, really helped me, they’re taking action now. They’re actually doing something…god bless you all. Thank you so much.”
