‘Loki’ star Jack Veal homeless and sleeping in trailer, asks fans to share emotional video
Loki star Jack Veal has asked fans to share an emotional video he has posted after being left homeless.
The actor, known for his role as Kid Loki in the Marvel TV series starring Tom Hiddleston, took to his TikTok account in a plea for help.
He said: “Hi. I’m a famous actor, I’m 17, and I’m homeless. You may know me from Loki, 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.
“Without delving too much into the details, I was abused at home. It was physical violence, emotional abuse, and et cetera. I didn’t have a very good upbringing. I struggle with mental health. I have autism, ADHD, and am being screened for bipolar and psychosis.”

He continued: “I can’t stay at my grandparents’ because my granddad is terminally unwell. I have nowhere else to go, and I need help. Social services refuses to help me despite what I have told them. I am desperate. 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.
“It’s difficult. 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.”
Meanwhile, a third season of Loki is yet to be confirmed by Marvel, but in an interview with Collider, executive producer Kevin Wright recently left the door open for a third series.
Asked about the potential for more episodes in the future, he said: “It was similar to Season One in we wanted to tell this story and tell it well, but even in Season One, we obviously were thinking about where we were going. I would say Season One and Season Two were developed and created as, like, kind of two chapters of the same book.
“We felt pretty strongly, all of us involved, that Season Two was about closing that book but that there are many other books on the shelf for this character and for this world. But this felt like it wanted to be the conclusion of these great things that we set up in Season One. We don’t want to constantly leave people with drastic cliffhangers for our finales.”
