Marvel actor Jack Veal revealed he is struggling with homelessness at 17-years-old.
The British actor, who played the younger version Tom Hiddleston’s titular character Loki in the Disney+ series “Loki” in the first season, detailed his dire situation in a TikTok video that he posted on Monday. Veal shared that he has been “sleeping on the streets” and is currently living in a “trailer” in London after leaving home due to alleged abuse.
“Hi. I’m a famous actor. I’m 17, and I’m homeless”, Veal told his fans at the beginning of the clip.
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.”
“I didn’t have a very good upbringing”, he added. “I struggle with mental health. I have autism, ADHD, and am being screened for bipolar and psychosis.”
“I can’t stay at my grandparents’ because my granddad is terminally unwell. I have nowhere else to go, and I need help.”
Veal claimed that he had sought help from social services and had explained his situation, but he was “refused” assistance.
“I am desperate”, 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”, Veal, who is currently employed as a personal trainer, continued.
