Netflix star begs fans for help as he is left penniless and living on London streets

TV star Jack Veal shared that he is homeless as he posted several videos speaking on his situation on the social media platform TikTok. The 17-year-old British actor, who starred as Kid Loki in the popular Disney+ series led by Tom Hiddleston, revealed back in December that he had been living on the streets and seeked guidance from his followers. "Hi. I'm a famous actor, I'm 17, and I'm homeless," Veal said at the start of the video.

He continued: "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. Social services refuses to help me, despite what I've told them. I am desperate. I have been sleeping in the streets. I'm currently sleeping in a trailer that has smashed-in windows; it's unsafe."

Veal, also known for his role in Netflix's The End of the F***ing World and Amazon Prime Video's The Peripheral, claimed that he "didn't have a very good upbringing".

"I struggle with mental health, like autism, ADHD, and have been screened for bipolar and psychosis," Veal shared before going on to give a tour of the trailer he's been living in, noting that it gets cold because the windows are broken.

He added: "But I cope. There's no electricity, so I have to use a power bank and cycle through those. I need help. Please share, please share it with whoever you can. You don't have to pay me anything; I don't need anything. I just need you to make this go as viral as possible. I will continue to put more stuff out. But please, I need help."

In a video the following day, he tearfully shared that he had received a call from social services "to potentially get me into foster care and supportive accommodations."

"I don't know what you guys have done, but it's gotten out there, and it's really really helped me. They're taking action now, they're actually doing something. So God bless you all," he said.

"I'll let you know how the meeting goes - there's no promises, but this is the first time they've ever considered me for accommodations, so thank you. Thank you so much, I love you all."
