You can see he studied the character, understood Norman perfectly and let the character evolve naturally across seasons. What an amazing actor Freddy is 🙌🏻
You can take almost any scene with Freddie and Vera and it's just gold! Those two were perfect and the acting was top notch. Gonna miss this show a lot!
I keep wanting to congratulate Freddie somehow. He is just such a likable person! I absolutely loved his performance as Norman. He's really brilliant, and deserves every happiness. I honestly hope all his sweetest dreams come true for him :)
Freddie is such a beautiful man 😍 I can't get over how amazing his acting has been for this entire series! I hope both Freddie and Vera get their well deserved Emmys this year
as someone who is fascinated with criminology, I really admire Freddie's perspective towards Norman. He has clearly studied the character and sort of put himself in Normans shoes, which speaks to his amazing acting skills, but it is admirable in the psychological sense as well. the fact that he sees Norman as a human being first and foremost, and has empathy for him and realizes that despite his illness, he did have a good heart. More people should realize that humans are multifaceted. There is no good or evil. Even in people who commit atrocities, there is still a "good" side, whatever that may be.
I actually thought the tombstone was depressing because, even though Norman was buried with his mother, his side of the tombstone was blank. Like there was nothing that could be said about him due to the stain he left on his family name.
Freddie Highmore seems like such a nice guy. Articulate and intelligent too. He played Norman so well. He seems to have enjoyed it, and seems sad it came to an end. Me too. 🏩❤
So this show was so amazingly written and the actors were perfect in their roles. I so hope that Freddie Highmore receives the Emmy carrying the role so beautifully for five seasons and transforming slowly over those seasons. I was so intrigued from day one that two years ago when I was diagnosed with cancer one of the thoughts that came to mind was, "I have two seasons of Bates Motel to finish I have to be here." Oddly as it seems, people say what you enjoy the most you want to be able to conclude. My entire life I loved exceptional writing. Fantasy with a bit of truth (true emotions) in it. A wonderful plot helps us through rough times and adds to the good times. I loved the ending. It was the characters I had imagined at Norman's final scene and the way I had hoped it would end with Norman having a moment of thought and realization. He was the character I had grown to like from the beginning trying to be a good person and yet struggling with inner demons at the same time. The fact that his beloved half-brother took away his pain was a beautiful ending rather than any other scenario. Norman, for a moment, realizing the truth around him. The only way to be truly happy was to be with mother in the after-life. Purposely charging toward his brother would help (some) with easing regrets Dylan might feel with his final choice on what to do for Norman. Which ending Norman's life probably entered Dylan's mind as a last resort before he ever even entered the house. Knowing Norman would be in too much pain on earth. Norman's stabbing the door instead, and dying in his brother's arms with someone that loved him in life, and ending up with someone that loved him in death. No more torment...just peace at last.
Such a thrill and a pleasure listening to Freddie's carefully measured and premeditated thoughts on this wonderful show he's been a part of for the last 5 years! :)
Throughout the entire 5 Seasons we never really gave up rooting for Norman, did we? 😅😅Freddie has made Norman’s character so likeable and sympathetic it’s hard to see him as someone who was capable of killing. We were all just hoping someone could save him but the end was already written up from the beginning when Norman shared insight with his Mother (shortly after they moved) that “maybe some people don’t get to start over” 😢
I think Carbonell deserved one way more for Season 4 over Season 5. Highmore's pretty much the only actor who deserves one for Season 5. Farmiga should have been winning for the earlier seasons.
There should be more stories the best show every single character amazing so talented and the costumes are gorgeous love the house great production emmy ocar vote for nominations for awards for this best show I ❤️ it brilliant 👍🌹❤️💜💙💛
He did wonderful things in bates motel that we'll be hard to do for normen and his Mother both parts with Mother you did awesome and Vera did. Great sooo much I hope season 5 we'll be on Netflix summer I watch them all I love the 1st season you guys are just amazing how u do that what Freddie going to do now
I guess it was just supposed to be assumed that Norman killed him, probably soon after he left Pineview, because in season 5 they said he was killed "about a year ago." But yeah I'd also like to know exactly how it happened. ~:~
Only thing I was left wondering after the finale, what happened to Norman's therapist, I forget the name, but he "met" him again in a cafe in season 5, and was reminded by him that his visions of Norma are an illusion and that he at times "becomes" Norma. It's later mentioned that he had gone missing a year earlier and was presumed dead, so it seems Norman's conversation with him was imagined, this is never explained though...anyone have any idea what happened to that poor guy? I liked him...
so many people wanted to know what happened to Dr.Edwards. There's a deleted scene on the blue ray vid, that shows the Dr. going to the house,& talking with Norman.This happens after Norma's funeral. They should've left that scene in. I'd imagine Norman could've killed him,then.
In the second episode of the final season Norman was reading a newspaper that had a headline mentioning that citizens had raised concerns over Pineview's security and as we saw in Season 4 "Mother" didn't want Norman revealing so much about his past in their therapy sessions
Sarah Finn i wondered what that newspaper article said. I thought maybe it was because Julian,& Norman both snuck out. I think Julian was able to sneak out all the time. I recognize your name from the a&e bates fb page. What did you think of the ending?
I really enjoyed the finale and it's the first one to make me cry since the 'Six Feet Under' series finale. I pretty much knew that Romero was going to die as soon as he showed up at the station to abduct Norman/"Mother" and demanded to be taken to Norma's body ("Mother" referring to Romero as "Lonely Hearts" was hilarious!). I started crying when Dylan was talking to Emma and completely lost it when it showed Norman being reunited with Norma. All through the series Dylan really was the only one who truly understood what Norman was going through and I'm glad he was the one to put an end to his suffering (I saw it as a mercy killing) rather than having Romero do it since the latter was so set on getting his revenge for Norma's death. This is definitely one series I will be buying the complete series of on DVD or BluRay. I really hope they finally get the awards they deserve. :-)
I loved every character. I didn't want Romero to die, but thought he would and I thought Norman would end in a psychiatric institution. But, this way as sad as it is, he found peace I guess.
I think the simplicity of the tombstone added to the sadness and reality of what/who Norman was. I don't think anyone in the town could've cared less about him. All they saw was that he was a serial killer....not a very sick young man. And what more could Dylan write on there? I think there would've been a loss for words in his situation anyway, given their relationship and after what happened...
*"Beloved Son, Brother, and Friend. May he finally find peace."* OR a (supposed) favorite quote of Norman's. Anything, but blank. It was a real 'eye-roller' for me; the producers were trying too hard to make Norman a lonely and unloved soul in death. But he wasn't...with Dylan loving him to the bitter end. In life, he had been loved by his mother and Emma too. Boooooooooo to the blank side of the tombstone! :P
As a big fan of the original "Psycho" I was thinking this was going to be a crap series but wow was I wrong. It was just amazing. The only thing I would have changed was to make Norma's dead body more rotted over time
Why does everyone say that the tombstone was Dylan's decision?. That was there before he even knew Norma was dead!?, and it had it all there, Norman's name 1995-. All that was left was for them to scratch on the year he died.
Those were my thoughts exactly. Also, this interviewer was saying how sweet (or something) it was for Dylan to bury him next to his mother and what a sweet ending it was. I thought it was actually quite dark and sad because there was nothing written on his side of the tombstone. Like there is relief that he is gone and now we can just forget he existed. I thought it was sad. To me the sweet part WAS when Dylan killed Norman putting him out of his misery.
you're delusional, she didn't perform any better than someone else could. you are probably one of those people that started watching when they aired the trailer of her being in the final season of the show
i'm disappointed at the optimistic ending. i feel like it doesnt fit the dark tone of the rest of the show. i really wanted norman to get away with it all, and continue to live in that house on the hill and continue to kill unsuspecting guests at the hotel. that ending would just fit the story better, i feel. the happily-ever-after ending they went with doesnt suit the rest of the show.
He should have gotten a golden globe nomination last season...he HAS to get something for this last season. He did phenomenal work
You can see he studied the character, understood Norman perfectly and let the character evolve naturally across seasons. What an amazing actor Freddy is 🙌🏻
You can take almost any scene with Freddie and Vera and it's just gold! Those two were perfect and the acting was top notch. Gonna miss this show a lot!
I sweeear something is wrong if he doesn't get an Emmy!!
Alexa Ofelia you are god damn right
Or Vera.
I keep wanting to congratulate Freddie somehow. He is just such a likable person! I absolutely loved his performance as Norman. He's really brilliant, and deserves every happiness. I honestly hope all his sweetest dreams come true for him :)
he makes me realise there are some lovely, polite decent Englishmen left and he's one of them. Such a lovely man.
Freddie is such a beautiful man 😍 I can't get over how amazing his acting has been for this entire series! I hope both Freddie and Vera get their well deserved Emmys this year

Amelie T i was upset how the police where handling norman and not even taking consideration of mental illness etc.
Amelie T k
I actually thought the tombstone was depressing because, even though Norman was buried with his mother, his side of the tombstone was blank. Like there was nothing that could be said about him due to the stain he left on his family name.
18:55 awww his giggle!
He’s always so thankful for his success. He feels he has been so lucky for all of his success. That’s just modesty as he’s just a natural actor.
I love how excited he gets about talking about the show. He seems to have a great personality too.
HE IS THE BEST GREATEST ACTOR IN HIS SHOWS I HAVE WATCH THE GOOD DOCTOR AND BATES MOTEL
Freddie Highmore seems like such a nice guy. Articulate and intelligent too. He played Norman so well. He seems to have enjoyed it, and seems sad it came to an end. Me too. 🏩❤

mary stuebe you summed it up,perfectly! I hope your health is much better, now.
Such a thrill and a pleasure listening to Freddie's carefully measured and premeditated thoughts on this wonderful show he's been a part of for the last 5 years! :)
Little did we know by this time he probably was already working on The Good Doctor!!!

Happy birthday freddie for your wonderful 30 years and bring to an sea of felicity and serenity
I love this interview out of all the others I have watched. The interviewer is amazing who is a great listener and asks good questions.
Complete justice done by Freddie for Norman's character.
at 1st, I hoped Dylan would learn about Caleb...however, Dylan had so much guilt,regret, sadness(these last few episodes)I'm glad he didn't find out.
Gloria Marie Ortner learn what about Caleb?
L vs that he died
Gloria Marie Ortner Dylan is a smart cookie, I'm sure he'll have it figured out soon after. Deep down, he already knows it.
No matter what version of psycho it is you always feel this sympathy for Norman except Mabey in the Vince van remake
bates motel totally deserved best cinematography and music, the minds behind the camera are incredible.
And best actors for Freddie and Vera.
Love Bates Motel
Brilliant contributions from everyone involved
This is a great interview 👏👏👏
I love you Freddie
And Norman
I love him so much!! So goddamn talented and charming.
Norman has a good heart aswell😂
Literally fainted after the show I was in bed and sleep deprived but still
I dreaded the scene where Alex sees Norma's body, it was heartbreaking!
I want an Emmy for Alex too
cookiemonster I agree! Norma, too! Actually, the whole main cast was excellent! Same, for the writing,& directing.
I think Carbonell deserved one way more for Season 4 over Season 5. Highmore's pretty much the only actor who deserves one for Season 5. Farmiga should have been winning for the earlier seasons.
me too the way he tries to revive her and when norman plays dead, then wakes up and says ''mother..'' chills, man!
@@drlee2 I think Vera was excepcional, along with Freddie, during all seasons. They carried the entire show on their backs.
There should be more stories the best show every single character amazing so talented and the costumes are gorgeous love the house great production emmy ocar vote for nominations for awards for this best show I ❤️ it brilliant 👍🌹❤️💜💙💛
He did wonderful things in bates motel that we'll be hard to do for normen and his Mother both parts with Mother you did awesome and Vera did. Great sooo much I hope season 5 we'll be on Netflix summer I watch them all I love the 1st season you guys are just amazing how u do that what Freddie going to do now
I love Freddie :)
7:33 that smile!
we did hope they would let us know what happened to Dr Edwards (in a flashback)
Gloria Marie Ortner yessss!!!!! I'm so curious
I guess it was just supposed to be assumed that Norman killed him, probably soon after he left Pineview, because in season 5 they said he was killed "about a year ago." But yeah I'd also like to know exactly how it happened.
~:~
Love ❤️ you Freddie and am a huge fan of bates motel couldn’t of found a better fit for all the actors to fit there parts
Such an amazing performance 💯👏

Totally love him ❤
So cute
emmy is long overdue
Fantastic
FANS NEED MORE! PLEASE ANOTHER SEASON!
stanblack15 there is no story anymore
Mustapha Smoothz I could see them bringing it back and making a plot where Dylan goes Psycho from all of his trauma.
NOOO. The worst thing that tv series do is try and drag it out too long. It was perfect.
Adoro vc Freddy
😘Freddie Highmore ❤️
@Gold Derby I would have loved to do this! too bad he avoids social media now
He has always avoided it since he said in an interview that as he grew up without it he doesn't feel the need to start using it
So cute..
J'AI JUSTE HÂTE DE VOIR LES NOUVELLES SÉRIES ....
He deserves the emmy
18:55 so cute 🥺🥺😍🤗
freddie highmore Hi
I loved every character. I didn't want Romero to die, but thought he would and I thought Norman would end in a psychiatric institution. But, this way as sad as it is, he found peace I guess.
Ethan, Bradley and her father, Romero and Norma - I wish would have lived. And fucking Cody - I wish she was the one who killed Norman,
Why did the tombstone have no message for Norman? There should have been something written.
who would write for him? Dylan loved him, but he killed him too.
I think the simplicity of the tombstone added to the sadness and reality of what/who Norman was. I don't think anyone in the town could've cared less about him. All they saw was that he was a serial killer....not a very sick young man. And what more could Dylan write on there? I think there would've been a loss for words in his situation anyway, given their relationship and after what happened...
I think it already speaks volumes that Dylan made the decision to bury Norman next to his mother.
I would've put "Beloved Son".
*"Beloved Son, Brother, and Friend. May he finally find peace."* OR a (supposed) favorite quote of Norman's. Anything, but blank. It was a real 'eye-roller' for me; the producers were trying too hard to make Norman a lonely and unloved soul in death. But he wasn't...with Dylan loving him to the bitter end. In life, he had been loved by his mother and Emma too. Boooooooooo to the blank side of the tombstone! :P
😍
Check out my playlist titled BATES MOTEL
As a big fan of the original "Psycho" I was thinking this was going to be a crap series but wow was I wrong. It was just amazing. The only thing I would have changed was to make Norma's dead body more rotted over time
im so depressed. bates motel was so fucking good
I was kinda mad the way Chick died...I wanted him to be the writer of the movie Psycho
Mesmerizing Performance
He looks better in t-shirt and jacket rather than formal shirts and blazers
🤗🐘
How I can connect with him?? It is so important. Thanks.
bad news. he has no affiliation with social media anymore but you can always write him a letter. fanmail.biz has his address
I like Freddy but I'm frustrated because I don't know what he means because English is difficult
whats the hangout address for Freddie?
what is his hangout address please! I wanna talk with him too
Why does everyone say that the tombstone was Dylan's decision?. That was there before he even knew Norma was dead!?, and it had it all there, Norman's name 1995-. All that was left was for them to scratch on the year he died.

I thought it was sad. To me the sweet part WAS when Dylan killed Norman putting him out of his misery.
Don't forget vera
Freddie needs an Emmy
and so does Rihanna she needs an Emmy
Mooky Blaylock she did an amazing performance she deserves one
lmfao no she doesnt
ZnXii she does
you're delusional, she didn't perform any better than someone else could. you are probably one of those people that started watching when they aired the trailer of her being in the final season of the show
Alright what did you think of her then
Freddie not even getting nominated at the Emmy’s for Bates Motel is a travesty
Go back. The doctor show
Freddie is as delusional as Norman.
i'm disappointed at the optimistic ending. i feel like it doesnt fit the dark tone of the rest of the show. i really wanted norman to get away with it all, and continue to live in that house on the hill and continue to kill unsuspecting guests at the hotel. that ending would just fit the story better, i feel. the happily-ever-after ending they went with doesnt suit the rest of the show.
sydandtaytum happily ever after? He DIED. Lol
r u serious? u must love when the bad guy gets away! go see a psychiatrist...cough cough!
