Loki star Jack Veal, 17, gives tearful update after revealing he’s homeless and sleeping on the streets
In reading about Jack’s story, it’s impossible not to be moved by his resilience and talent in the face of such adversity. At just 16 years old, he’s already amassed an impressive resume in the acting world, with roles alongside some of the biggest names in the industry.
Marvel star Jack Veal shared an update on his heartbreaking struggle with homelessness.
16-year-old actor, famed for portraying Kid Loki with Tom Hiddleston in the series Loki, has recently gained widespread attention on TikTok, disclosing that he’s been residing in a trailer in London following his departure from an abusive household.
He greeted, “Hello. I’m known for acting, yet only seventeen years old, and currently without a permanent home,” he shared in his recent video. “I haven’t spoken much about my personal life until now, but it seems appropriate to share the truth. To keep things brief, I was subjected to abuse at home. This included physical violence, emotional torment, and other forms of mistreatment.
Less than 24 hours later, Veal shared his latest update with a much more hopeful tone.
The actor shared that he had received a phone call from social services, informing him of a planned meeting the next day, where they might discuss placing him in foster care, along with available assistance and resources, leaving him visibly emotional.
As a lifestyle advisor, I must express my heartfelt gratitude for the impact your collective efforts have had on me. The ripples of your actions have spread far and wide, reaching me in ways I hadn’t anticipated. Now, I see positive changes taking place, and it brings a sense of relief and hope. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all. May good fortune continue to guide each one of you.
He added, “I’ll keep you updated about the meeting results, and please note that it’s not guaranteed, but for the first time, they’re considering me for accommodation. Thank you, thank you very much. You all are wonderful.
During Monday’s unfiltered TikTok, Veal also got candid about his mental health struggles.
As a wellness advocate sharing my personal journey, let me express that my childhood wasn’t the smoothest sailing. Throughout my life, I’ve grappled with mental health challenges. I’m diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Currently, I’m undergoing evaluations for potential conditions such as bipolar disorder and psychosis.
Due to my grandfather’s terminal illness, I unfortunately cannot remain at my grandparents’. Currently, I don’t have another place to stay, so I urgently require assistance.
‘Social services refuses to help me despite what I have told them. I am desperate.’
Afterward, Jack moved the camera to capture the surroundings where he’s temporarily residing, searching for assistance.
He 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.
Currently, things are quite challenging. Life seems particularly tough right now. Frankly, I’m at a loss. I humbly appeal to all of you: could you please help by sharing this, taking action, and spreading the word about the way children are being treated by the government?
“Could you do me a favor and spread the word? I’d really appreciate it if you shared this with anyone you think might be interested. There’s no obligation or payment required on your part. My only request is that we try to get as many people involved as possible, so please help make this go viral!
‘I’ll continue to put some more stuff out, but, please, I need help.’
Jack received an overwhelming number of encouraging messages from his followers, many urging, “Let’s all post and comment extensively! It’s important that we show our support.
I’m truly sorry, Jack. I hope things turn around for you soon.
‘This message is reality. Sharing this and I hope you get the help you need.’
Jack, born in 2007, stepped onto the screen for the very first time when he was 10 years old, starring in the drama film titled “My Name Is Lenny.
In that particular year, he made an appearance in the crime drama titled “Tin Star”, and the next year, he was seen in five episodes of “The End of the F***ing World” playing the character Young James.
He played the young version of Tom Hiddleston’s character in the show Loki in 2021 with his last screen credit being sci-fi show The Peripheral the following year.
