In an incredibly heart-wrenching revelation, a young Marvel star has publicly shared that he is now homeless and living on the streets.

The 17-year-old actor, known for his role in a major Marvel series, posted a desperate video on TikTok earlier this week, explaining his current struggles and the tough circumstances that led to this heartbreaking situation.

The actor, whose name is becoming more familiar to fans, began the video with a shocking statement: “Hi. I’m a famous actor, I’m 17, and I’m homeless.”

He went on to explain that despite his public recognition, he is facing severe personal difficulties that have left him without a stable home.

The teenager, who is best known for playing a key character in one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most popular shows, revealed that he had fled from an abusive home environment and is now living in a trailer in London, struggling to survive.

Without going into too many details, the actor shared that his home life had been marked by both physical and emotional abuse, which made it impossible for him to stay.

He added that he has been grappling with mental health challenges, including autism, ADHD, and ongoing screenings for bipolar disorder and psychosis.

These struggles, compounded by his turbulent upbringing, have left him in a vulnerable position.

The actor further explained that he couldn’t turn to his grandparents for help, as his grandfather is terminally ill, leaving him with nowhere else to go.

In his video, he made a tearful plea, saying: “I need help.”

He described his current living situation, explaining that he’s been forced to sleep in a trailer with smashed-in windows, which make the space unsafe.

The trailer is located two hours away from his work, making it incredibly difficult for him to get to the set each day.

To add to his dire circumstances, he doesn’t have access to electricity, relying on a small portable charger to keep his phone functional.

“I’m desperate,” he said. “I’ve been sleeping in the streets. This is hard.”

The trailer, which he showed in his TikTok video, is cramped and poorly maintained, with the actor covering the broken windows with a single piece of paper in a desperate attempt to keep the cold out.

Despite these hardships, he emphasized that he’s not asking for money. Instead, he simply wants people to share his story so that the authorities and social services can provide the help he so desperately needs.

The video, which has already been viewed over 150,000 times, sparked a wave of sympathy from fans and followers, many of whom expressed their disbelief and sorrow.

Numerous comments flooded in, with people offering kind words and support, while others said they would share the video in hopes of raising awareness.

In a follow-up video, Jack Veal expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support he had received.

He mentioned that he was temporarily staying at a friend’s house but reiterated the main message of his initial video: the urgent need for government assistance.

He also pointed out that he wasn’t alone in his struggles, with many young people enduring similar difficulties.

“How many kids have to go through this until something changes?” he questioned, urging people to join him in calling for change.

Veal, whose career began in 2017 with a notable role in a British drama, later rose to prominence when he portrayed a variant of Tom Hiddleston’s iconic character in the popular Marvel series Loki.

His portrayal of Kid Loki resonated with audiences, and he later went on to appear in several other TV shows and films, including The End of the F**ing World* and Tin Star.

His most recent project was a role in the Prime Video sci-fi series The Peripheral in 2022.
