Vera Farmiga on BATES MOTEL and her Inspiration for Norma Bates!

What better place to chat with the star of A&E's hit show "Bates Motel" than at the actual Bates Motel & Mansion itself? That's just what YH does as we head to the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot to catch up with actress Vera Farmiga to get all the "licentious" dish on Season 3 of the series based on the classic movie 'Psycho'! She gushes about her co-star Freddie Highmore, plus she talks about some strange requests and fan encounters and reveals the inspiration for her take on the enigmatic Norma Bates!

[@scottwest1813]

She is a great actress. Her beauty is unmatched.

[@Iamaguienapig]

Scott West Nah. Carice Van Houten.

[@sharknado623]

Agreed.

[@nalmunati]

actually taisa farmiga has something to say about that.

[@sharknado623]

@@nalmunati not really, I think Vera is much more beautiful.

[@asherfarrell1607]

Two years late, but she's phenomenal in the Bates Motel, her Freddie are literally perfect for their roles, I couldn't imagine anyone else playing their roles, they do it so well

[@rosegoldscorpio]

I’m not even gay but her smile is mesmerising and the way she plays Norma is absolutely perfect

[@simplystreeptacular]

You don't have to be gay to think she's dreamy. You just gotta have at least one functioning eyeball. ;)

[@Ec8625ec]

she’s a good actress but wtf does she gotta cry so damm much. By season 2 i could already tell when she’s gonna cry before the scene even starts. Im surprised she didn’t dehydrate through all that crying in the series.

[@animalfinatic9366]

You really don't have to be! Though I understand where you're coming from. As a girl attracted to guys, I admire her so much I almost believe it's of that nature, when in reality, she is just a beautiful person to model yourself after. I look up to her in plenty of ways, it's almost as if she was my mother.

[@CissyBrazil]

You definitely don’t have to be gay to notice a beautiful woman. Us ladies can see a very pretty lady and say oh my gosh, she’s so beautiful and it only means just that ……a beautiful woman. I love her expressions when she’s confused, or when she’s mad. She’s just gorgeous!

[@ameliaz315]

the fact that she listens to metal just makes me love her 10x more omg

[@YoungHollywood]

❤️😂

[@glennd5574]

"Bates" Motel is one of the best series that I have ever seen, and Vera Farmiga was the best part of that show. That's saying a lot considering all the talent that 'Bates Motel' had on display.

[@unomdinromania]

She is such a good actress...like the BEST especially in Bates Motel

[@angieumana7030]

My God she is the coolest! Love Vera!

[@vanessaferrer7346]

She plays heavy metal! Can this woman be any more perfect and amazing?

[@williammatthews693]

Not in my eyes!

[@arliotis]

Oml everyone from Bates Motel are so amazing.

[@xoxosh4826]

Man she is so freaking beautiful/sexy/gorgeous. She is my current girl crush with those beautiful eyes 😍

[@milllzz05]

Me too! Lol

[@andriusval2011]

to me she's similar to my mother, who was a narcissistic scumbag, an evil bitch. no, I'm not confusing her with the character, which I sort of like, but from intinterviews... such a fake... yuck

[@xoxosh4826]

+Andrius Val How is she fake?

[@andriusval2011]

duh, judging by the behavior. lol easy to say 'how' and then be like 'point at sth', but reread my comment- she leaves me with the impression of being a certain type of scumbag, that means behavior in geberal- speaking over the interviewer, constantly trying to change topics, control conversations, avoid answering, buy herself time to make sth up, underhanded comments etc

[@xoxosh4826]

+Andrius Val She's obviously a nervous interviewee. And even then, she's super humble and sweet and selfless.

[@djbenji2643]

That was such a good interview. Vera is lovely.

[@susanbeck5841]

Vera Farmiga is an excellent actress!

[@carolinaperez2137]

Vera is an example of a real Hollywood star. She is beautiful and talented. She proves an Oscar is not everything.

[@animalfinatic9366]

This was such a great interview! Usually interviewers are just there to ask questions but you can tell not only was her presence enjoyed but she did her research! I love to see interviewers and actresses get along so well. As always, Vera was a treat to see. She is truly such a class act in these times we're living in, at least to me! As a young girl entering adulthood, I can only hope I age as gracefully as her. She makes her life so interesting and artful.

[@Thetourist2112]

Oh my god, as if I couldn't crush on her harder, she's a freakin metal head too. Amazing actress.

[@crispygirl07]

When u died in bates motel i cried a lot n d last episode when u said to Norman tht u goto go..i was like nooooo....last part where you both gt together somehow it made me feel better...awww u psyched me Ms.Norma bates .good acting vera mam...gonna reach heights ...

[@williammatthews693]

Her husband is one lucky man! She is a class act.

[@Blossom1948]

[@samanthabalbi6172]

[@andriusval2011]

[@dimplechops88]

[@TheJamie6666]

Stunningly beautiful and a really good actress.

[@RachelDex]

[@kareemclyne5803]

Such a complex character

[@elmascholo13]

she was spectacular in bates motel.....just wow.....thats an actress

[@Ares14]

Vera is my dream girl.

[@traceyrychewhite1874]

I gotta love her even more because she plays 🎸 like I do and she's a total metal head. Rock on Vera!!!!! I wonder if she's a Pantera fan?? She's one of the best actresses of our time ❤. I'm guessing, Corey Taylor???

[@eavan76]

she is really pretty, just OMG what a gorgeous.

[@nicknano3685]

She's so charming, I love her.

[@wiesebridget040]

What yr did they build the house?

[@reyannmayechavez2632]

damn ! she's so hot . my absolutely girl crush

[@InSomCatcher]

Someone know where is the Bates Motel ? Where Vera played for the series please 🙏🏻😭

[@sandierzen7300]

cool !

[@Jomuerudoumandanberarumino]

its long gone now. Its so depressing

[@Andihitshandis]

She is the ultimate woman

[@YoungHollywood]

Thanks for watching!

[@bigal2748]

She's so fucking beautiful

[@antonellaferrari5091]

Bates Motel effect it had on my head

[@braxfan683]

She's nice looking, and seems a nice person. She looks better without the wig. She wears nicer clothes than Norma too 🏩🌺

[@Maya-pp3gp]

It was great show

[@marcelageiger]

I didn't even get to watch half of this. The interviewer is so annoying and overbearing. Vera Farmiga handled it pretty well; but you can tell she wasn't pleased. I love her acting, and feel bad for actors who have to put up with such annoying interviewers. But then I think of the money they make...and don't feel so bad.

[@patrickravier3038]

Ah, just with her presence this woman brings light. Dress her in a potatoe bag with tangled hair and she'd still radiate class and grace.

[@kelseyharwell4675]

I do not like this interviewer, shes weird. And it seems like she’s making Vera feel awkward

[@AnnetteMurphyger]

Funny Freddie plays guitar too

[@craigwright5220]

I can’t even Lie she alone had me Netflixing the whole series. The personality sexiness, I was ready to fuck Norman up for the murder.

[@mariahelenacarvalho3897]

Os olhos sao lindos

[@traceyrychewhite1874]

I never knew she was a fellow Guitarist and a fellow metalhead. I wonder what she thinks of Dimebag Darrell Abbott, who was shot down on stage, while performing by a legit Psycho fan. The police shot him. He was a founding member of Pantera.

[@user-cz3sh3dx1w]

is it just me or Vera kinda looks like Cate Blanchett?

[@julietagwazim542]

She does

[@graciehuff5522]

She's creepy in a good way

[@dtadeo2006]

fucking amazing actress.... freddie on the other hand... not too bad i guess

[@Anonymous-ng4wc]

Vera likes Slipknot? Can she get any more awesome?

[@usamarafieck1715]

Vera Is so gorgeous 😍.

[@josealecsandrosouzadeolive3454]

[@hanniemac9587]

Vera's so much like Emma in the show lol

[@Richie92191]
