A teenage actor who featured in Marvel's Loki series has revealed he's currently homeless after a heartbreaking admission.
Jack Veal, who is arguably best known for his role as Kid Loki in the popular 2021 series, rose to fame at an incredibly young age.
Born in 2007, Veal, now 17, was barely a teenager when he featured alongside Tom Hiddleston in Loki.
But speaking out to his fans in a video uploaded to TikTok, Veal shared an emotional plea as he asked his followers to help with his ongoing homelessness issue.

"Hi. I'm a famous actor, I’m 17, and I’m homeless," Veal began.
"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."
Veal then opened up on what's been happening at home in a heartbreaking admission.
The actor continued: "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."
Veal then touched on his current living arrangements, adding: "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."
The Loki actor then continued his plea by insisting he 'needs help' and asking his fans to share the video.
"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," he said.
"I’ll continue to put some more stuff out, but, please, I need help."
Many have flocked to the comments section of the emotional video to offer their support to Veal.
"Heartbreaking. Hope things get better for you soon," one person said.
While a second added: "Wow I'm really sorry you're experiencing this."
