'Loki' star Jack Veal reveals he is HOMELESS and sleeps on the streets: 'Please, I need help' - Watch

Jack Veal, the actor best known for his role as Kid Loki in the hit Marvel series 'Loki', is going viral after he posted a TikTok video, alleging that he is now homeless and in need of help.

The 17-year-old, in a video, opened up about his struggles, including alleged abuse at home, financial exploitation, and mental health challenges. In a 2-minute video, Veal said, "I’m a famous actor, I’m 17, and I’m homeless.”

He continued, "I haven’t mentioned much about what’s going on with my life, but I feel it’s time to reveal the truth. I was abused at home—physical violence, emotional abuse, and so on. I didn’t have a very good upbringing."

He also revealed that he is currently living in a trailer with smashed windows, no electricity, and located two hours away from his work. He also gave viewers a look at his living conditions, including his bed, his food supply and claimed that he used a power bank to charge his phone. Veal also revealed that his struggles with autism, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and psychosis, have made his situation even more challenging.

In the clip, he also alleged that despite reaching out to social services for assistance, they denied him any support. "Please, I need help," he said, urging viewers to understand the lack of safety nets for vulnerable youth.

Fans and well-wishers have since expressed their shock and fulfilled his request by sharing his video. The clip posted on a Twitter page has already garnered over 1.1 million views. Others have petitioned to start online campaigns to raise funds and provide resources for Veal.

The actor shot to fame for his appearance in Season 1 oof the hit show. He featured alongside Tom Hiddleston in a supporting role that saw him helping the God of Mischief to make his way to He Who Remains, ultimately starting the Multiverse Saga.
