Summary

  • Travis Barker said on The New York Times' Popcast that he "doesn't even realize" he's on Hulu's The Kardashians and never watches or approves episodes.
  • The blink-182 drummer said ignoring the cameras is how he handles the series, adding that he is not filmed as a main character with sit-down interviews and sees himself as "an accessory."

  • The comments came as Barker promoted Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear, his new Hulu documentary premiering August 13, and he also said blink-182 are working on a new album.
