Heartbreaking Plea: 17-Year-Old Actor Jack Veal, Co-Star with Tom Hiddleston in Loki, Homeless and Seeking Help
Jack Veal, the 17-year-old actor known for his role as Kid Loki in Marvel’s Loki series alongside Tom Hiddleston, recently revealed on TikTok that he is currently homeless. Living in a trailer in London, Veal opened up about his struggles with mental health, abuse, and social services’ inability to assist him. In a candid video, he shared, "Hi. I’m a famous actor, I’m 17, and I’m homeless. I haven’t mentioned much about what’s been going on in my life, but I think it’s time to reveal the truth."
Veal, who faces challenges associated with autism, ADHD, and potential diagnoses of bipolar disorder and psychosis, detailed the difficulties of his situation. He can’t live with his grandparents due to their health problems, and his trailer, located two hours away from his work, is unsafe with broken windows. He implored viewers to spread his message, saying, "I need help. Please share it with whoever you can."
Following his plea, Veal’s situation gained significant attention and support from fans urging others to aid him. The increased visibility resulted in a call from social services, offering a meeting to discuss potential foster care and accommodation, a glimmer of hope for the young actor. Veal expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and promised to update his followers on the progress.
Jack’s acting career began at the age of 10 with a role in My Name Is Lenny and includes appearances in Tin Star, *The End of the F**ing World, Call The Midwife, and more recent work like Come Away. Despite his hardships, Jack remains committed to his acting career and has embarked on a fitness endeavor, promoting himself as London’s youngest ultramarathon athlete. His TikTok encourages donations to Lost Soul Charity, aimed at helping the homeless.
Through his transparency, Veal highlights the struggles faced by young people experiencing homelessness, urging a broader conversation on how to provide support.
