Earlier this month, the release of Joker took the whole world on a ride and the film has gone on to become one of the highest grossing movies worldwide. Latest box office figures say that Joker might just become the highest grossing R-rated film ever.
One scene from the Joker that has been shared widely, to the point of becoming the latest meme online, is the famous stairs scene where Joaquin Phoenix comes dancing down after having completely transformed. That staircase, where Arthur Fleck (Phoenix’s character) breaks into his devilish dance, is now turning out to be a famous tourist spot in New York City.
The stairs are located in the Bronx, New York and as CNN has reported, many fans are turning up to snap a photo of themselves either busting their own dance moves down them or simply posing at what’s quickly becoming a well-known pilgrimage site for Joker fans.
For those who would like to take a trip out to the Bronx, the stairs are located at West 167th Street, which connects Shakespeare and Anderson avenues. For those who can’t make the journey to New York any time soon, Halloween is just around the corner, and it’s a safe bet that this year will bring a lot of people emulating the famed Gotham villain.
