Teen ‘Loki’ Actor Jack Veal Says He’s Homeless After Acting Career: ‘I Have Nowhere Else to Go and I Need Help’

As a seasoned movie critic with a heart for the underdog, I can’t help but be moved by the plight of Jack Veal, the talented young actor who graced our screens as Kid Loki. The stark contrast between his on-screen glory and off-screen struggles is both heartbreaking and infuriating.

17-year-old actor Jack Veal, known for his role as Kid Loki in the first season of “Marvel’s Loki,” shared a series of posts on TikTok expressing that he currently lacks a permanent place to live and is seeking suitable housing options.

Greetings. I’m a well-known actor, currently 17 years old, and unfortunately, I don’t have a permanent place to call home,” Veal stated in the video. “You might recognize me from shows like ‘Loki,’ ‘The Ending of the World,’ or other productions where I took on significant roles. I haven’t shared much about my personal life, but I feel it’s time to disclose some truth. In brief, I experienced abuse at home – this included physical violence, emotional harm, and more.

He went on to say, “My childhood wasn’t ideal. I’ve faced challenges with my mental wellbeing. I’m diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and currently under evaluation for potential bipolar disorder and psychosis.

Veal has also acted in movies like “The Favourite,” “The Corrupted,” “Come Away,” “My Name Is Lenny” and TV shows “The Peripheral,” “Call the Midwife” and “Tin Star.” He says in the video that he can’t stay with his grandparents because his grandfather is “terminally unwell.”

In my own words, I find myself at a crossroads, with no other options in sight. I’m reaching out for assistance, yet the social services seem unwilling to lend a hand, despite my pleas. I’m at my wit’s end. Night after night, I’ve been forced to sleep on the streets. Currently, I’m cramped up in a trailer with shattered windows, living in unsafe conditions and located two hours from my workplace, making every day a struggle just to get there. Life has become an uphill battle. At this moment, I have nothing left but hope. I implore you all to share my story, to take action, to rally together and bring attention to how our government is treating those who are most vulnerable.

On a Tuesday, following the spread of his videos across various platforms, Veal expressed gratitude towards those who helped share his content, as he received an unexpected call from social services regarding the possibility of him entering foster care.

As a movie enthusiast, let me express my gratitude in the most sincere way possible: Your efforts, whatever they may be, have somehow reached me and they’ve made a profound impact on my journey. Now, it seems that action is being taken, and I couldn’t be more grateful for this development. To each of you, from the bottom of my heart, I offer my deepest appreciation. May blessings find their way to you all.
