I don’t think nobody notices what Vera Literally has to do that whole time being dead like holy shit she is so talented😩😍❤️

[@BabyAngelV]

Now I understand why the Bates Motel was so great. They have such great chemistry that it translated on screen. I could watch these three all day.. and I did. I just caught it on Netflix not too long ago and binge watched it for 3 days. 😆

[@linneamariequentin8216]

I believe the exact term is "transcend", as in "They have such a great chemistry that it transcended (into their characters) on screen."
But, yeah, they're really amazing together, their chemistry is quite rare. (Other shows with chemistry between the portrayed characters & actors in real life alike are "Supernatural", or BBC's "Sherlock", for example.)
I just discovered the show on Netflix, also not too long ago & been binge-watching it for about 2 weeks straight. It's just so addicting! One of the best shows I've ever watched. (Though, for me, the best series I have ever watched will - probably- always be BBC's "Sherlock". I don't think there has ever been made a better series (, or film for that matter), and there never will be. And I don't think anyone could ever convince me otherwise. Though, I'd love to see you try. :D )

I loved as Freddie and Nestor handled the conversation , joked and supported each other. Besides being intelligent and very talented they are humble and down-to earth. Nestor is beautiful and sexy.

[@stephanierenee2575]

Vera playing the piano on her leg toward the end lol, I caught that-her fingers look like they move so quick I bet she's badass on the piano lol and also wonder if she was doing it cus she was bored or something? Whenever I see her interviewed with her costar PAtrick from conjuring she is cracking up and just giddy at everything he literally says. She seemed less entertained here but still amazing on every level. She needs an award for being the absolute shit. And the other actors deserve as well. She's just so damn talented I think she's underrated for her ability she's over Meryl Streep level to me. Do others not see that or something?!?!? Love u guys :)

[@skuLd20]

Vera is bad-ass on piano. Watch 'At Middleton'.

[@RCHK226]

Under rated. She's perfect

[@idkah5062]

I know I’m late but I don’t care. FOR EVERYONE SAYING VERA US UNCOMFORTABLE she is, she had been filming a lot and since the conjuring 2 came out the same day, she’s tired and nervous because of all the interviews:)

[@juanitalane8350]

Love love Vera

[@alex_marie24]

Freddie’s so sweet😂💕😂😍😍

[@wendajones9040]

Gosh. It was actually her playing dead! I thought it was a dummy!

[@deardoggo]

I wish they could give some longer answers, especially because Freddie and Vera have such a psychologically interesting characters. They never mention DID or talk about that experience although it's confirmed he has it. I get that it might be hard as characters, but it's just my opinion.

[@malark6722]

Crushing on this man sooooo much

[@user-vy7tq4ev6e]

This is the best interview to ever exist im actually crying 😭

[@catherinewindow6157]

Loved this show.

[@davidkoloc1313]

As many acknowledge, the cast and acting Bates Motel encompasses is about as good as it gets. I’d like to say the sheer vision and artistry on the part of everyone from the writers to the directors, cinematographers, set/props people and so the many others who must have been involved in it, cannot and should not be understated. For me, this show was perfectly paced and so very human. Emotionally frank and stark, both horrifyingly human and beautiful all at once. It’s a joy to experience intellectually and visually from start to finish. Sincere thanks to all who made this so.

[@inertia4ever]

Yeah!!! You are great!!!

[@yistherumgon3841]

God I do love Freddie’s laugh.

[@tafuro969]

2:18 ❤ Please a movie or a series where they play a family 👪

[@darmastutidarmastuti]

[@travismaupin6617]

Fantastic

[@eurob12]

Best best best show ever!

[@juliabiggs7741]

nestorrrrr😍

[@gerolynlovings316]

Was Nestor Carbonell caste because of his resemblance to Anthony Perkins? I would have caste him as an older Norman Bates.

[@gerolynlovings316]

My sister and I are totally hooked on this show. Vera and Freddie's characters are so convincing. They are amazing actors. Nestor is easy on the eyes and does an amazing job as well. Vera's death scene was very creepy and sad. I really got caught up in that scene. I felt like I lost a friend.

[@robeviorica2246]

Freddie , un très grand acteur, , étant donner le faite que pour faire 2 film tellement différant , c est très difficile , il est aussi très jeune , , je l adore , je suis une grand mère , je lui souhaite que du bonheur ,

[@rebeccanegrete1118]

Beau beau FREdi H.! Lindo. . Mais sans traduction..hummm.😆

[@Checkmyplaylist-nl7dk]

let's hear about norma from norma we don't know ourselves fully so lets think about he's right or not and i'm right or not(norma) which is weird to think about if he's right cause we only can know him via episodes not with scripts too.

[@aelynb]

I don't know why, but Vera doesn't seem comfortable in this interview to me :/
Anyways... it was very funny

[@diva88chic]

She does doesn't she like her sentences are all over the place, maybe just nervous. She's still awesome 😎

[@TheTruthseeker1970]

Probably just tired and distracted - remember around that same time, she was giving a lot of interviews and appearances for her newly released movie "The Conjuring." :)

[@annedollsantique5404]

Que pena eu não entender inglês 😊😁

[@fernandojeriaveli3311]

Por aquí 32:30 bate motel

[@andrewharris4014]

[@karinag8171]

Norman it’s abit weird like not outgoing

[@rebeccanegrete1118]

Dommage! Pas de français! Guapo Freddie,,.

[@usamarafieck1715]

Closeness between Norma and Norman is weird.

[@rebeccanegrete1118]

Oui le shérif ressemble a☺Anthony Perkins. Plus beau...mais Freddie! hummm, mignonn😅. .

[@ruslanrahmatov6470]

[@Chocolatecake22]
