The actor who played Kid Loki in the first season of the Marvel series Loki has appealed for help from the public after falling on hard times.
Jack Veal recently posted on TikTok about his difficulties, saying “Hi. I’m a famous actor, I’m 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. 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 said.

“Without delving too much into the details, I was abused at home. It was physical violence, emotional abuse and etc.,” Veal continued in the video.
According to the young actor, he had “nowhere else to go, and I need help.”
“Social services refuse to help me despite what I have told them. I am desperate. I’ve been sleeping in the streets,” he claimed.

“I am currently sleeping in a trailer that has smashed-in windows, is unsafe and is two hours away from my work, which means I struggle to get to work every day. It’s difficult. Life is hard,” he said.
Veal implored his followers to share what he said was happening in the hopes he could get some type of accommodation near London.
In a follow up video shared on Tuesday (Wednesday in Australia), he said he had been contacted by social services for a meeting that could potentially help him.
