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.
« It’s difficult », he added.
