Victoria Pedretti admits ‘I wolf you’ line was ‘ridiculous’ and ‘fought’ to cut it in YOU

Cast your mind back to season two of YOU, and you might remember that particularly cringeworthy moment between Joe and Love when they confess their love to each other. Well, it turns out Victoria Pedretti also thought saying “I wolf you” was almost a criminal act and admitted she “really didn’t want to do it.” I’d be the exact same tbh.

During episode five in season two, Joe and Love are cuddling in bed when Love asks: “Can I tell you I love you yet?” Joe replies: “Whenever you’re ready. In the meantime, let me say. I love you, Love. It’s a complicated word.” He then asks: “Is there another word we can use? Our word?” Love then utters the infamous words: “I wolf you. I like it. It’s like you’re part of my pack.” Even just writing it out is making me internally shudder.

During her appearance on Penn Badgley’s podcast, Podcrushed, Victoria Pedretti was asked: “Fans want to know how you guys felt about the ‘I wolf you’ scene, and was it hard to keep a straight face filming that?”

And let me tell you something, she did not hold back on her true feelings about the scene and I’m here for it. She admitted: “I fought it a lot. I really didn’t want to do it.” Penn confessed: “I don’t recall struggling with it”, which Victoria quickly countered, saying: “No, I think there were many moments where I was like, ‘Why are we doing this?’ and you were like, ‘Victoria, just do it!’”

Victoria confessed she “fought” for the line to get cut from the show entirely because it was so “ridiculous.” She went on to say: “That’s something people say to me now. They’ll come up and they’ll be like they’re the first person to ever say it to me, they’ll be like, ‘I wolf you.’ And I’ll just be like ‘Oh my god, what the fuck is my life.’”

As if that wasn’t enough of a bombshell, Penn then admitted that the original YOU episode included Joe getting bit by an actual wolf, but it ended up getting cut. He revealed: “There was a scene where Joe gets bitten by a wolf. I was limping through the entire latter half of the episode and either everybody’s like, ‘That’s a choice!’ or the limp is just gone.”

He explained: “The wolf is still there. But the wolf was featured so much more prominently in the episode, and it was cut out because it was so hard to get the wolf to do what we needed. They couldn’t have the wolf actually lunge at me.

“What it came down to was they would have needed hundreds of thousands of dollars for a CG wolf to come for me, and so I think they basically edited around this whole story point, which was: Joe gets bitten by the wolf, and that is a thing.”

If they had included the actual wolf in the scene I think I would have genuinely passed away at that point.
