About Willem Dafoe Looking Up
The Willem Dafoe Looking Up meme, also known as Vincent van Gogh Looking Up, features Willem Dafoe as Vincent van Gogh gazing upward with an overwhelmed, dazed expression. It is commonly used to depict someone looking at something above them, such as a towering object, an overhead threat, or a sudden spectacle.
The image comes from the 2018 biographical drama At Eternity’s Gate, in which Dafoe portrays Vincent van Gogh. The scene later became a GIF caption template online, with the earliest known meme examples appearing on iFunny in May 2020.
