- Victoria Pedretti, the star of Netflix's 'You' and 'The Haunting of Bly Manor' powerfully opens up about having ADD and being diagnosed with the condition to GLAMOUR's @joshsmithhosts, saying, "I was six years old or seven years old and being told, 'you might not ever be able to read and write well. You're going to have a higher rate of incarceration, higher rate of drug use, higher rate of lots of medical problems. It's going to be very hard for you to live a healthy lifestyle.' I just looked at that label and I was like, 'no, that's not me!'” Victoria also opens up about appearing in the video poem, 'This Is Not A Love Letter,' about one woman's emotional story of having an abortion and reveals 'The Haunting of Bly Manor' story line that shook her the most. Are you inspired by Victoria's story? Let us know in the comments below...

i rlly hope this industry doesn't destroy her. shes a good one
I dont hope so. She deleted all the photos on Instagram.
@@louisemarija6276 do you know why
The industry/system is an expert destroying this kind of persons, the only way she survive Is never lose their own essence and choose by conviction the character and don't by necessity. This apply for everyone
@@cck8606 Because she want to live the real life I guess.
She won't. She's smart and seems to have a good grasp on where she is.
The fact that she's open about her ADD and touch upon her past experiences here in such a casual way says it all in my opinion.
I want a black mirror episode with Victoria Pedretti 😭
me too hhhhhhhhhh
omg.... this is NEEDED
yes! but where she finally lives please
YES
this would be SPECTACULAR
Can’t imagine having to act out a panic attack over and over cuz it’s like your mind knows it’s not real but your body doesn’t
I mean if you breathe really fast and I mean really fast for a short period of time you can actually experience that feeling of having a panic attack without actually having one, though it can trigger a real one after a certain peeriod of time, and this is by only changing the breathing patterns :)
Yeah I’ve done that to get my mom off my back
It actually could be rewarding in a way to portray to those who dont know what it is like.
PROTECT VICTORIA PEDRETTI AT ALL COSTS
shes a real one we need to make sure they dont ruin her
@@harleyquinn2938 she's too intelligent to let herself get ruined.
oh god she's such a pure soul... WE MUST PROTECT HER
r/simp
@@louisemarija6276 wtf hhahaha
@@louisemarija6276 what
Why does this sound like American doctrine. "We must protect..." 😂
Why do people say this stuff? So patronizing and plainly cringe.
this is the first time i hear victoria pedretti being interviewed, i'm in shock by how much she gets emotionally invested and honest about everything she speaks about - this seems to me to be a very special actress
@@marlenefischer7855 love them 🤟🏻
"people tried to tell me about my brain and my mind my entire life. and i think that's just really destructive."
that's so powerful
Please, Hollywood, don't destroy her. She's incredible.
Hollywood doesn’t give a cent on respecting people. It’s a cult. It’s up to this fantastic soul of a girl to self-protect herself, not falling for any false myth or false value.
@@i.1213 agreed. this sucks)=
I. cult? huh what
@@av5368 Probably some right-wing conspiracy BS.
What I appreciate about Victoria is how she's just genuinely and honestly her real self and isn't afraid of that. She really isn't a "celebrity" and doesn't seem to care about a celebrity image, which makes her far more relatable, and as a result I find myself deeply invested in the characters she plays.
Yeah, and about the celebrity image, in another interview she said that she doesn’t post pictures of herself because she doesn’t want to cultivate the idea that she needs other peoples attention, she’s literally so amazing
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT: the title doesn't indicate to anyone that there are Bly Manor spoiler's right in the beginning so be careful
it was too late lol, I was like wtf
Yeah wtf I was just scrolling my feed and the preview was just like bloop ruined bly manor for ya
Yes. Terrible editing choice.
it was too late 4 mi but i already had the feeling so i was like,, oh
Yes!!!!
the way this was supposed to be a promo interview for the new projects shes in but she took this time to talk about issues that affect her and mean a lot to her like ??? im obsessed
HOW DOES SHE SUIT EVERY HAIR COLOUR
She’s so captivating and precious. I genuinely cannot wait to see where her career takes her! I also have ADHD, so hearing her talk about it openly really uplifted me. I just love her.
I love her mind, the way she thinks, so intelligent and incredible talented
A horror movie with Victoria Pedretti and Anya Taylor-Joy would be 💯
Edit: Should I include Florence Pugh???
This. A hundred times, this.
💯💯💯
OHHhh that would be iconic,more like a Psycho-thriller would be a challenge,like Victoria being her as from YOU,and Anya being as from SPLIT
Phenomenal. That’s what it’d be.
YES
As someone who has ADD, I really found comfort in this interview. I've been in undergrad school for 7 years now (5-yr degree program) because it really us difficult as the system is catered for neurotypicals. Although my professors have been understanding and lenient, I think most of them still lack the proper tools to accommodate students who are different (non-neurotypicals).
Hi I'm a teacher in High School (I'm still relatively new to this gig).
In your opinion, what ways could I help my students who have ADHD/ADD?
@@yllodenajallidros
Hello! I've only been diagnosed with the inattentive type of ADHD (formerly known as ADD) last year and I am currently at university so I would like to say up front that there is a difference in the dynamics of university life vs high school life. Second, I am not an expert and I will largely base my answer on my personal experiences and the conversations I’ve had with my therapist.
1. There are three types of ADHD: hyperactive, inattentive, and combination. Understanding those three (how they differ from one another, their manifestation, etc.) will greatly help you in making the necessary adjustments to cater to students who have them.
2. For those with the hyperactive type, generally they can’t stay still for a long time and they have to have an outlet for their energy. I’ve read a story about this woman who was a law student and has the hyperactive type. When she feels the need to, she would go out of the classroom and run around the oval at their university. She’d come back refreshed and more focused after her run. So maybe if you notice this kind of behavior in your students, don’t immediately get angry or offended. Maybe you can ask them first and then basically let them be because it’s their coping mechanism.
3. For those with the inattentive type like me, our problem is distractibility and lack of focus. What I personally do is I sit at the front row to minimize distractions. So as the teacher, maybe you could facilitate with the seating arrangement of the class? Although, I’m not sure if sitting at the front row is everyone’s cup of tea but that’s what I used to cope with my difficulty in focusing.
4. Communicate with your students, reach out to them. Ask them how they’re doing, if they are having difficulties, and have them identify what those difficulties are. One thing I learned is that communication is key to avoid misunderstanding and premature judgment.
Some general pointers that might help (I got some of these from Google):
• Set deadlines for activities BUT be lenient
For example, for long-term projects, you can divide them into segments so that the students will be able to have workable and shorter goals. What I meant with the lenient part is that late submissions should still be credited (and not have a 0 grade). Maybe just deduct points. A professor once told me that the important part is that the student made the effort to submit which is why he does not believe in giving 0s as grades.
• Give frequent short quizzed than long tests.
• Try different teaching techniques as opposed to a singular teaching style through the school year. I believe that would help in setting a more engaging learning atmosphere.
There are lots of resources online that could help you. Talking to people (those with a background in psychology, those who actually have ADHD, teachers who've had experiences in handling students with ADHD) is also a great option that will give you more perspective on the matter. I think, in general, being understanding is the most important thing in handling students who have ADHD. My view is very limited of course, and I know that different people have different coping mechanisms, and different mannerisms as well. So I guess it all boils down to being observant, being understanding, and being patient with them. 😊
I have been diagnosed with ADD this year (I'm 17 now) and I had to repeat a grade (when I was 16), but now my marks are pretty good and I want to go to university :)
@@MicrowavedHermione glad it worked out for you. Best of luck if you decide to go to university!
That diagnosis is a two edged sword for me looking at your generation. Because I'm about 20 years older and remember well when doctors and therapists suddenly would start to explain certain behavioural patterns with ADD or ADHD, or however you want to label it.
And it was hard to discern whether that was due to a more refined form of diagnosis and being able to understand what goes on in the brain better, or because at that time what used to be normal child behaviour suddenly became unfashionable and children were expected to function instead of living in their own world. And if they didn't the explanation suddenly became: "This child has ADHD".
So I'm a little weary when someone of your or Victoria's age says: "I have ADD", because it is very hard to know whether that is actually the case or if they were misdiagnosed when they were younger.
Sometimes I feel like 50% of the people I met who had that diagnosis, never actually had any other problem than overburdened parents and teachers.
I love how V thinks before she speaks 😄
Hmm which part
People don’t do that much these days
shes so well-spoken and intelligent :(( i love her sm
This is the most comfortable interview I think Vic has done so far, everything flowed and no awkward pauses or short answers.
I like it as well, although it also depends on the editing sometimes
An actor who is unapologetically themself, so rare to see in film/tv industry. Never change Victoria.
When she cried my eyes went watery. Literally
Victoria is immensely brave for sharing this, the fact that she is able to give such emotionally poignant performances whilst having ADD is inspirational, to say the least, Learning a script, learning your lines and your cast members lines for Ques as if its second nature too you, pulling from Meisner & Method acting techniques whilst having ADD... Just when I thought that I couldn't love victoria anymore than I already do, she openly tells us she has ADD, I've worked and acted at an inclusive Physical theatre company for 5 years ( Chickenshed theatre ) that endorses people of all physical and mental abilities, I've worked with and seen actors with down syndrome, autism, Cerebral palsy, yes, Cerebal palsy bring breathtaking performances to the stage, nothing is impossible and nobody should be told otherwise, no matter your condition, or disability, people with conditions or disabilities know exactly what they are up against every day and 9 times out of 10 they are the hardest working people in the room because they don't want to be another statistic or number, they are unique to prove a point, victoria Pedretti is proof of that! , producers, agents need to represent more inclusion actors because there are beautiful stories to be told.
YES TO THIS !!!
So well said !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ok but how is she “brave”? This term is so loosely used nowadays.
Totally agree
I know you mean well, but the part of your post about ADD and Victoria having ADD comes across as a little bit condescending. As if it's surprising. As someone with ADD I find it a bit alienating. I know you mean well, and I'm not mad. It's just something to keep in mind for the future
Her authenticity is so refreshing
Reading and watching her interviews really leave me thinking about life. Her responses are just so striking that they make me stare into space, questioning the things I once thought and the realization of it. I love how her mind works and how she articulates them well. Just, wow.
This is, I think, the whole interview because I see more of their conversation here than in the video. Really worth a read. I hope you’ll learn something from it like it did with me. 😌
www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/victoria-pedretti-interview-2020
The shorter interviews with funny answers are great but there's something about her speaking her mind freely and talking about how she approaches life it's mesmerizing, I am so in love with her
when i get high i specifically watch interviews of victoria pedretti because she speaks to the SOUL
HER GREEN HAIR IS SO CUTE
For being a private person, she talked about a very personal thing that, given her reaction, touched her deeply and continues to do so. Courage and lovely girl our Victoria, I would like to hug her and tell her that so-called ADD is not a disease at all. It just has a different lock, which for their convenience and inadequacy they call mental desease, all they need is another key that they do not know or do not want to find, to make a person feel sick when they are not, I think it is one of the worst wrongs they can do you.
Many people who have been very successful in life had ADD, Einstein just to name and the list is endless.
Im sorry I know you meant well, but it is a desease, there is a lack of some neurotrasmites and it afects your life in so may ways, I have add and hering poeple say that it is not a mental deseases gives the wrong idea that the strugle isnt real. When someone with add gets a diagnosis it helps a lot, it help them to stop blaming themselves for failing so much. However I understand why you say it, mental illnesses have a huge social stigma that must change.
I'm sorry, I certainly expressed myself badly, English is not my first language. It was not my intention to deny its existence. I wanted to say that despite the problems it creates, Victoria and many others are proof of it, if you find the right key and/or the right people, you can also be able to do great things in life. My apologies.
@@emanueleartusi5572 its okey, its soooo true what you say and thank you for saying it :) add should never be a reason to question someones capacities nor what they are able to achieve
@@cristinadiaz5492 AD(H)D is no longer considered a disease but a neurological disorder which is a very different thing. It doesn't mean that it isn't difficult or a struggle just as a mental illness is, but the fact of the matter is that neurological disorders and mental illnesses are not the same. It is however very common to become mentally ill when you have these diagnoses. I for example have a mental illness called dysthymia which my neurologist believe was caused by my ADHD, or rather by the lack of treatment for my ADHD.
@@KaFu9904 I really have not thought about the difference between disease and disorder ,but you are totally right. It change my perpective on how I see it because someone can be mentally healthy having adhd,
thanks for clarifying :)
i love how the interwiever asked about labels cuz he probs wanted her to talk about not being straight but she just went on to talk about something completely different hahaha love her
Exactly! 🤩👏🏻🔥
He wanted that clickable title for the vid!
And even after she replied his answers are stretching to include sexuality. Every interview has wanted to press on this when this series includes several love stories and themes. I wish people wouldn’t always impose the actors to “come out” and talk about something personal like sexuality because of some side shipping fantasy. A great actor should be able to poetry any character and I think her and Amelia did a great job.
@@anonymous7851 I think it might be bc Victoria sais she wasn't straight on ig so interviewers want to know more about that but she clearly doesn't want to/doesn't feel the need to expand on the subject and interviewers should respect that
Tbh (as much as I would like to know) it is really none of our business and nothing to do with her job as an actor what her sexuality is. We are just very lucky that we got to see her portray a range of different sexualities through her characters.
This is a really important conversation to keep having. I'm Autistic and don't usually tell people at first, because their ideas on what that means and what I'm capable of are so flawed that I'm reluctant to hand that label to people upfront before I prove the stereotypes wrong.
Exactly! I'm autistic as well but I don't tell people that I met like Hey I am autistic, it's a part of me yes but it doesn't control or define me as a person. Does that make sense? ^^
@@unicornlover8559 only high IQ people will understand :(
Victoria seems such an actual genuine person and I admire her so much, I really hope we see her thrive more and more ♥️
I’d listen and subscribe to Victoria Pedretti’s podcast 😌
shes one of the only actors who genuinely talks about her art and methods she is so very talented.
This didnt even feel like an interview or promo in a way but a stream of consciousness! I feel like we need a podcast or something where she can continue with this. Beautiful. V if you're reading this i'm going to make you a playlist💓
For me getting my ADHD diagnosis was a huge relief, but it happened when I was 24. By then, I had all these ways I could notice I was struggling so much in relation to other people, but no reason for it, so my brain defaulted to "I'm just lazy" and that was very damaging to me all my life. Getting the diagnosis, having a scientific, phisiological reason behind it made me go from "I'm a bad person" to "I'm built slightly differently, and I gotta take that into account". But I can totally understand how it can be limiting and labelling for others, in different situations. I think Victoria's point of view is incredibly valid, but let's not forget that not everyone will feel the same about things.
Though I get that's not what she was trying to say, I'm just sharing my personal experience for contrast, too.
She really sounds so genuine about what she's saying and what she's feeling. I love how she's not afraid to show her vulnerable side, to speak boldly. I can't help but love her.
i think she’s a queen😌
THE GREEN HAIR
ishi ikr 😍
i saw her post an instagram story and thought it was def a filter until now lol. but she looks so cute
blond is her color
I liked everything she said, great thoughts. See this is not a love letter!
This made her all the more relatable to me as someone who suffers from some form of neurosis as well (Social anxiety and OCD)
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Me toooooooooooo
Does she have social anxiety though?
@@southlondon86 No I don't think so, she only mentioned ADD. It's just comforting to know she understands what it's like to live with neurosis
Shoutout to the interviewer who let Victoria have a human interview and talk about her feelings as opposed to fishing for an answer and moving on.
"This Is Not A Love Letter" is the best work that Victoria Pedretti has been involved in this year.
She's so precious 🥺 *protect her at all cost*
we want the rest of the interview!!!
Ikr????
She’s so genuine and caring and empathetic. Apart from a great actress, she also seems to be an awesome person. I’m always astounded by her presence, she’s a treasure!
She shall be protected
ADHD baby right here. I feel so seen. My Mum never emphasised my adhd, it was just something that was there... if I struggled with something, only then would she maybe understand why I was struggling, because of adhd. So for that I am thankful, she didn’t make it a big thing.
Victoria, you’re a gem and a true gift to us all. Wishing you nothing but success and happiness.
'We have our own morality. The government shouldn't be defining that for us' that is actually a really good quote!
Growing up with ADD, I would hear people say they don't believe I have ADD because I seem so normal and that I acted the way I did because I didn't care or explain to me how hard my life will be for my entire life. I never really had anyone to look up too, but now I do. I love Victoria even more now.
She's such a genuine person and remarkably talented.
It’s nice that Victoria Pedretti uses her fame to share her opinions and thoughts. Coming from a conservative country, it made me think more about legalizing marijuana and about abortion. 🤔
As for my chosen career, those issues are of great deal.
The weirdest part of getting older is the celebrities being so close to your age. I’m 22 and it doesn’t feel right that I’m only three years younger than Victoria 😂
True
I could sit an listen to her for hours, she is amazing and mesmerizing
she's so precious!!!! 😭😭😭 i love this woman. protecc her at all costs!!
4:04 "diagnosises" Aww I love her 😅
Loved this interview. I want to add however that I think those who were diagnosed with adhd at a young age and those we went undiagnosed until their 20s have very different experiences. For the latter the diagnosis does a lot for the actual individual and it's like a dark puzzle has been solved, but I can imagine the stigma and label weight that a child can carry throughout adolescence in the former circumstance.
i have adhd and this made me feel better-thank you vic
just me know how much i needed to hear those words. victoria is a amazing professional and an human rlly rlly good. she have much what to say, and will help a lot of people along her life. thanks for existing victoria
"and then there's label that suggests more community.." 👀👀

Great interviewer, loved how warm it all felt. I’m so glad she was able to share about some of her experiences and the growth she’s gone through. Love her ❤️
this interview was so beautifully conducted, and i felt like these questions were so fresh, and he looks like he was truly intrigued by her answers. she so amazing 💖✨
Such a great interview! Thank you!
Victoria Pedretti, we hear your, we support you girl! You're so smart and pure! Love the hair by the way ❤️️❤️️❤️️
All the love to you VICTORIA!!! ❤️ Thank you very much for your words and honesty.
i've been diagnosed with bipolarity disorder for 3 years and only recently i've come to really be aware of it and how it affects me, so i really relate to a lot of she says about labels. it makes me so happy to see how she's dealing with this and finding her way in her career!! I LOVE how authentic she is!
btw, I love the no-brows-and-blue-long-hair look on her
Thank you for speaking such truth! You really were not led into responses by the interviewer. Thank you for being so genuine, raw and courageous. I hear you.
one word ... PURE!!! I really like this interview
this was breathtakingly awesome. I love everything about this interview. just wow.
i love listening to victoria talk
Love to see her continue to grow and expand her career, I’m so proud of her 🥺💗💗
Amazing interview! She's amazing
The more I get to know about Victoria, the more relatable I find her. I love how genuine she is and I just want to see her be that voice to complicated topics. Just love her so much!
This is amazing. Seriously.
i didn't expect anything interesting from this interview except to see Victoria and wow how good I ran into this, how great it is
Wow! Uma das melhores entrevistas da Victoria que já vi 💜
I really enjoyed her part on ADD. As someone who also has the condition I really understood where she was coming from and I think celebrities need to talk about these things more. As long as they’re comfortable of course.
The second you know she really gets it is when she goes like :... Affects the way I process info or "don't process Info".... . Then she laughs. Very relatable in a huge way ....
Victoria being so real and nothing multifaceted is what we need in this industry
I love Josh's interviews. And loooooove Victoria. Thank you
I love her sm🥺 i also have ADHD and its been a tough thing to wrap my head around and have kinda been in denial of the fact that i have it but im getting to a point where im starting to accept that part of me so this was such a touching interview🥺 we need more representation and to remove that stigma of mental health as a bad thing because its SO important especially for teenagers who lack familial support or even any kind of support.
Oh Josh you made Victoria cry lol just kidding! Amazing interview as always! It's great that it wasn't just about the Bly Manor but more about her opening up and how personal it was for her on the new project.
one of my new biggest inspirations me thinkssss
i just like listening to victoria speak.
Una de las mejores entrevista que le hicieron! Aplausos para ustedes !
I'm a teacher and I struggle so much to help my students that have ADHD, ADD, dyslexia and TEA because we aren't taught about it in school. we dont have the exactly tools to deal with them. But I'm always searching, learning, understand and looking to become better. And I'm so glad I'm watching Victoria to talk about it I'm so so so happy that she's amazing 🥺🥺🥺🥺💕💕💕 so inspiring!!! She helped me a lot and I'm sure she will help others who struggles the most. And btw she's soooo beautiful and cute and an ARIES 💕💕💕 and my new actress crush 😛😛😛
Youre such a great teacher!
