A set of outdoor steps in the Bronx has become a tourist attraction in recent weeks since the release of the movie Joker. The stairs are between two buildings on Shakespeare Avenue. In the movie, lead actor Joaquin Phoenix dances as he goes down the steps, wearing a bright red suit and clown make-up. These days, neighbourhood residents using the steps are being joined by tourists trying to recreate the scene. The visitors have been taking selfies, and some have even shown up in costume. Coming to the stairs is “really immersive,” said Oliver Bonallack, visiting from Brighton, England. “You never really get to experience a film first-hand,” he said. “I feel like it is so iconic.” The stairway joins the ranks of well-known movie settings, like that of the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art seen in Rocky.
