Jack Veal, known for his role as Kid Loki alongside Tom Hiddleston in the popular Disney Plus series Loki, recently opened up about his current living situation - he is homeless and has nowhere to turn to. Despite his successful acting career, the 17-year-old has been struggling to find a stable place to live.
In addition to his role in Loki, Jack has also appeared in other notable projects such as The Favourite, Tin Star, The End of the F***ing World, and Call the Midwife. However, this week, Jack took to TikTok to share an update on his life, where he revealed his heartbreaking reality.
"Hi, I'm a famous actor, I'm 17, and I'm homeless," he shared in the video. "I haven't mentioned much about what's been going on in my life, but I think it's time to reveal the truth." Jack went on to explain that he has been struggling with mental health issues and has faced abuse in his life. "I struggle with mental health. I have autism, ADHD, and am being screened for bipolar and psychosis," he shared.
Despite reaching out to social services for help, Jack claims they have refused to assist him. "I can't stay at my grandparents'. I have nowhere else to go, and I need help," he said. Jack then proceeded to show his current living situation - a trailer with smashed windows, no electricity, and limited resources. He has been sleeping on the streets and has been relying on snacks and sauces for sustenance.
In a desperate plea for help, Jack asked his followers to share his video and spread the message of how the government is treating kids like himself. "Life is hard. At the moment, I have nothing else. I am on my knees begging for you guys to just share this, do something, spread the message of how the government are treating kids," he said.
The response to Jack's video was overwhelming, with many offering messages of support and encouragement. One of his followers, Maximo, commented, "I couldn't even imagine being homeless at 17. Seeing you like this is truly breaking my heart. I love your character in Loki btw. I wish you all the best. Be strong."
The following day, Jack shared another emotional update, revealing that his video had caught the attention of authorities. "I just got a call from social services saying they want a meeting with me tomorrow to potentially get me into foster care and support and accommodations," he said, while tearing up. "I don't know what you guys have done but it's gotten out there and it's really, really helped me and they're taking action now."
While Jack acknowledged that there were no guarantees, he was grateful for the support he received and thanked those who helped spread the word about his situation. "I couldn't even imagine being homeless at 17. Seeing you like this is truly breaking my heart. I love your character in Loki btw. I wish you all the best. Be strong," Maximo commented.
Despite his struggles, Jack has continued to work, and his latest project, the 2022 Amazon Prime Video series The Peripheral, has recently been released. However, his current living situation has been a significant obstacle for him. "I'm really sorry, no one should have to go through this especially at your age. I hope the best for you man, keep us updated on how things are going," shared another follower, Val.
