Marvel teenage star reveals the alleged abuse he suffered at home and has to live in a trailer with broken windows and no electricity after deciding to move out.

AceShowbiz - Jack Veal, the 17-year-old British actor best known for his role as Kid Loki in the Marvel TV series "Loki," has shared a heart-wrenching video on TikTok, revealing his current struggles with homelessness and mental health.

Veal, who also appeared in popular shows like "The End of the F***ing World" and "Tin Star," disclosed that he fled his abusive home and is now living in precarious conditions in a trailer in London. With his grandfather terminally ill, he has been unable to seek refuge with family and has received little to no assistance from social services.

"Hi. I'm a famous actor, I'm 17, and I'm homeless," Veal begins his video. "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."

The young actor detailed the abuse he suffered at home, including physical violence and emotional torment, which has severely impacted his mental health. He explained that his diagnoses include autism, ADHD, and he is being screened for bipolar disorder and psychosis.

"Without delving too much into the details, I was abused at home. It was physical violence, emotional abuse. I didn't have a very good upbringing," Veal explained. "Social services refuse 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, and is two hours away from my work."

Despite these hardships, he emphasized that he is not asking for money, but for his message to be spread far and wide to garner attention and support from social services.

"I need help," Veal reiterated in his video. "Please share it with whoever you can. You don't have to pay me anything. I just need you to make this go as viral as possible."

The response on social media has been overwhelmingly supportive, with fans and followers commenting their disbelief and sorrow while attempting to boost his plea for help. Veal has temporarily found shelter with a friend's family, but he continues to seek assistance from the proper authorities to find a permanent solution.

Through his emotional plea, Jack Veal not only sheds light on his personal challenges but also raises awareness about the struggles many young people face when subjected to abuse and neglect. His story underlines the urgent need for better support systems for vulnerable youth.

As Veal poignantly asked, "How many kids have to go through this until something has to change? Let's make a change."
