Travis Barker‘s new documentary was nearly scrapped.
Travis Barker is the focus of a new documentary
The 50-year-old musician is the focus of a documentary, Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear, directed by Justin Krook and Michael Dwyer, and the Blink-182 star has revealed how the documentary – which explores Travis’ life and music career – has evolved over the years.
Travis – who battled trauma after a 2008 plane crash left him with a fear of flying – told People: “It seems surreal.
“At one point, it wasn’t going to come out. It had no ending and the dream ending was I’d walk near a plane, which I was completely against, and I was completely against flying ever again. I went to my managers and I said, ‘This documentary will come out when I’m dead. It’s dead to me. I hate the ending,’ because I knew that not flying had power over me.”
Travis embarked on years of healing before he was able to get on another flight. And the musician is now living life with Kourtney Kardashian, after marrying the reality TV star in 2022.
He said: “I knew in the back of my head, the end of this documentary is me getting on a plane again and facing my fear, which I didn’t know was ever going to be possible. But years later, I fall in love with one of my best friends and amazing things happened. Who would have known?”
Travis previously opened up about his relationship with Kourtney, explaining that they have a really good understanding of each other’s lives.
The music star said on The Drew Barrymore Show: “I would date girls that didn’t have kids and I’d find it kind of hard because … I think they would have trouble understanding, ‘Why don’t you want to go to dinner every night with me? Or why don’t you want to see me every night.’
“And now I’m spending time with someone who’s a great mum, who’s a great friend. You don’t have to worry about those things. It comes natural. It’s just a maturity thing.
“And I also really like missing someone and cherishing the time I’m going to spend with them instead of every day … Especially in the beginning of the relationship. I feel like missing someone is so important.”
