![]() ![]() What did it mean to you to book a Quentin Tarantino movie? You’re in the best sequence, set at Spahn Ranch. Your first movie was Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which is an incredible credit to have in general. I got very sunburnt on my back, which I would say was a product of me being so excited to be there that I completely forgot about putting on sunscreen. She was like, “I’m doing this music video for my new project,” and I was like, “I’m so excited for your new project.” She said it would be based on all these late-‘90s, early-2000s girl-gang movies that are so iconic. ![]() What was the pitch that she gave you? “Just come strut through this mall with me and look cool”? We had never met, but I’m a huge fan of her music, so I was flabbergasted that she hit me up. You were recently in Kacey Musgraves’ “Simple Times” video. Let’s talk about a couple other projects on your résumé that are particularly interesting. ![]() Now I would get a spit bucket, or I would know that the character doesn’t need to be consuming food throughout the course of the scene. Then I think I got proud, and I said, “Don’t worry about it, I’ll just eat it.” And I just kept going. I had never really done a food scene before, so I wasn’t aware of how long I was going to be consuming these donuts. ![]() I just thought I could keep eating them, so I did. That was my second job, and I was younger. She thinks she’s putting people ahead of her and that that’s a noble thing to do, but ultimately she’s very much working against herself and destroying herself in the process. She just feels very sorry for herself, so I think she would justify how she feels however she’s going to, whether it’s like, “My dad couldn’t stay faithful to my mom” or “My husband died” - all these things that, while tragic and difficult, don’t justify the things that she does that work against herself. I think she thinks if she’d had the perfect childhood she would have that. It’s a lot of fun playing into that because I’m a woman out here trying to do my best, but I think the internet can make us all feel a little insufficient, given the amount of people out here acting like they’ve got it all figured out.ĭo you think Love wishes she had what those picture-perfect California types have, or is it fuel for her mounting resentment? For Love, I almost believe, to a certain extent, that she kind of buys into it a little bit, or is truly intimidated by it. We saw the flashback with her au pair in the previous season, but that was sort of a different incident, too. Her relationship with Joe seems to be the thing that has escalated that impulse. I don’t think she sees herself as a murderer, so when I’m playing it, I don’t think about it. She feels like this is an uncontrollable, instinctual animal compulsion that she’s allowing in order to protect herself. But in the other cases, me as Victoria can see very clearly that she has a murderous impulse, but the character herself feels as if she’s doing everything she can to avoid that. I really do think she does that out of aggression and maliciousness. is different, I think, from the rest of the murders. Has your stance on her changed now that you have a fuller scope of the impulse that she has to grab an ax and take somebody down? But she certainly goes in some violent directions in season three. You said in an interview at the end of season two that you felt Love isn’t a killer at her core. Victoria Pedretti and Penn Badgley in You. How does Pedretti feel about Love’s dark journey? She talked to GQ about You, the way the new season caricatures California wellness culture, and why she lied in order to land the part in Once Upon a Time. Soon enough, they find themselves embroiled in another murder crisis, with Love’s venomous impulses taking center stage. Now the couple have relocated to suburbia, where, in typical fashion, Joe grows bored of Love and the monotony of parenthood. When we last saw Love, she had revealed her own stalkerish propensity, murdered two people, professed her affection for Joe, and announced that she is pregnant with his baby. More recently, you could see her strutting through a mall alongside Kacey Musgraves in the country darling’s “Simple Times” video. She then returned for the next Haunting installment, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and appeared in the under-appreciated Shirley Jackson biopic Shirley. The following year, she booked a role in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, then joined the cast of You as the newest love interest - fittingly named Love - of Joe, Penn Badgley’s creepy-sexy stalker-murderer weirdo. In 2018, she played Nell in Netflix’s breakout horror hit The Haunting of Hill House. Victoria Pedretti has had a dizzying few years. ![]()
