Travis Barker has revealed that he was in the throes of a prescription drug addiction before his plane crash in 2008. The crash, he said, served as his "rehab." ABC/WDTV "People are always like, 'Did you go to rehab?' " he told Men's Health. "And I [say], 'No, I was in a plane crash.' That was my rehab. Lose three of your friends and almost die? That was my wake-up call. If I wasn't in a crash, I would have probably never quit." Back in 2008, the private plane Travis was on crashed upon take off in South Carolina. His friends Chris Baker and Charles "Che" Still were killed, as were the two pilots. Travis and pal Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein escaped the engulfed plane, but Travis was burned on 65 percent of his body. He spent three months in the hospital and underwent 26 surgeries and countless skin grafts. One year after the crash, DJ AM died of an overdose. Travis, who is now dating Kourtney Kardashian, is the last remaining survivor of the crash, and he's yet to step foot on an airplane since that incident. Kathy Hutchins/Shutterstock The Blink-182 drummer admits to smoking an "excessive amount of weed" before that fateful night, and says his opioid tolerance was so high that he'd come to during surgeries. Once he eventually got home, he flushed everything down the toilet. Then, he had to start his life… again. "I was told I wasn't going to run again because I had so many grafts on my feet, and there was even talk of me never playing the drums again," he said. "As soon as I could walk, I could run. As soon as I could move my hands and my hands healed, I was playing drums. And now I'm in better shape than I've ever been." The crash, he notes, didn't just take a toll on his body, but also on his mind, as he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. He went to therapy for his survivor's guilt, as well. "I was dark," he says. "I couldn't walk down the street. If I saw a plane [in the sky], I was determined it was going to crash, and I just didn't want to see it." Invision/AP/REX/Shutterstock In time, he learned to deal with the events of that day. "It's gotten better the further I get away from it," he says. "The closer I was to it, it felt like I was closer to the bad stuff than I am to the good stuff. I felt closer to the experience of trying to escape, [to] being in an accident and being burned, trying to grab my friends from a burning plane. That haunted me for a long time. And as long as I was closer to that than this good stuff, I was always thinking about that. Now it's been so many years, it's getting easier for me. There are days where I'll wake up and never think about it." He even vows to one day get on an airplane again.<doc-sep>Zendaya just landed the June 2019 cover of ‘Vogue’ & the actress looks flawless with no makeup on as she wears a plunging gold sequin dress. Zendaya, 22, looks naturally beautiful on the June 2019 cover of Vogue, marking the actress’s second cover for the fashion magazine. Zendaya went au naturel makeup wise, on the cover, which showcases her face, while her hair is done in a super short, gelled finger wave style. While her beauty looked flawless on the cover, her plunging gold sequin dress stole the show as Zendaya went completely braless under the spaghetti strap, gold sequin Ralph Lauren Collection dress. Aside from looking gorgeous on the cover, Zendaya slays in a bunch of different dresses that are even more fabulous, as she keeps her natural no-makeup look and finger wave hair, done by hairstylist, Kim Kimble, throughout the entire shoot. Sticking with the naturally beautiful theme of the shoot, which was shot in Los Angeles by Tyler Mitchell, Zendaya does not wear any jewelry at all, letting the dresses speak for themselves. Throughout the photoshoot, Zendaya looked amazing in a slew of different looks and goes completely barefoot in all of the photos. One of our favorites was the black and white faded floral Marc Jacobs dress which was short in the front, featuring on off the shoulder neckline trimmed in black feathers, while the back of the dress flowed into a long train. Another gorgeous look was her white silk Marni dress and gold chain belt that she wore as she is lying down in the sand, flaunting her long, lean legs. Her looks kept getting better and better as she donned a red satin Olivier Theyskens gown with massive shoulders and a skintight pink, purple, and red floral Richard Quinn mini dress with huge round poofy shoulders and a crystal embellished neckline. In on photo, Zendaya is sitting on the floor with her legs out in front of her in nothing but a silk Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini slip dress and Wolford tank top. The other two looks she wore included a silk nude Loewe dress and a white floral Paco Rabanne dress, which was the exact dress Bella Hadid, 22, wore on her digital cover of Vogue back in March. To achieve Zendaya’s no-makeup makeup look, makeup artist, Hannah Murray, used Lancôme Absolue Revitalizing & Brightening Soft Cream, Teint Idole Ultra 24h Long Wear Foundation in 425 Bisque W, Star Bronzer in 02 Solaire, Dual Finish Highlighter in 02 Luminous Gold, L’Absolu Rouge in 387 Crushed Rose, Monsieur Big Mascara in Brown and the Brow Shaping Powdery Pencil in Chocolate.<doc-sep>Zendaya is spreading her wings in new directions. Approaching nearly a decade in the industry, the 22-year-old actress and influential fashion maven is no stranger to the big or small screens. After roles in The Greatest Showman, Spider-Man: Homecoming and its upcoming sequel, the star is preparing to debut her latest work as the lead of HBO's upcoming teen drama series, Euphoria, due out in June. For the intense project, co-starring fellow actresses Storm Reid and Maude Apatow among others, Zendaya portrays a recovering drug addict, vastly different from Rocky Blue, the aspiring backup dancer she portrayed for three seasons of Disney's Shake It Up, her breakout role. Last year, she wrapped her most recent Disney project as K.C. Cooper on K.C. Undercover and is now about to unveil her latest challenge, one very much outside of the Disney sphere. "Obviously, there's not much in my own experience of being a teen that I could draw on, especially when it comes to struggling with addiction," she told Vogue as the June issue's cover star.<doc-sep>
A lot has happened since Zendaya’s last Vogue cover, back in 2017. The actress recently filmed Spider-Man: Far from Home, coming out on July 2 and sure to be a blockbuster. She’s also set to star in a new HBO series, Euphoria, and has several other film projects in the works. And in keeping up with all that momentum, Zendaya’s back with a brand-new Vogue cover! In honor of her second time around as a Vogue cover star, here are five things you didn’t know about Zendaya: 1. She Enjoys Replying to Her Fans Online Zendaya keeps tight social media tabs on her fans despite her busy schedule. In a past interview with Variety, she said, “Do I look my name up on Twitter? Yes… to stalk my fans,” she said. “It’s kind of funny because they think they can get away with saying certain things because they didn’t @ me. But I find them, and I say, ‘exposed.’” 2. She Often Does Her Own Makeup Though she could have a glam squad at the ready at the snap of her fingers, Zendaya often enjoys doing her own makeup—and sometimes even hair!—for her red-carpet appearances. And she’s actually really good at it. Maybe it should be her side hustle? 3. Her First Acting Role Was Spooky Per a questionnaire she did for Us Weekly back in 2014, Zendaya’s first acting role actually began in the theater world. She got her thespian start as one of the witches in William Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth. 4. She Uses Her Platform for Activism Zendaya uses her platform for various activism work. She’s been particularly vocal about a need for more representation in Hollywood. At Vogue’s Forces of Fashion conference last year, she said. “Obviously, representation and inclusivity are always something that I want to see. There’s always work to be done. Sometimes there’s not space given to you—you have to create it. There can’t only be one of us, and sometimes you have to open the door and jam it open, so that others can come in, too. If there’s not a seat there, go create your own table!” 5. She Used to Be Really, Really Shy In her Vogue cover story in 2017, Zendaya’s mother, Claire Stoermer, revealed that the star used to be really, really shy. So shy that her parents had to attend seminars for the parents of timid children, and Zendaya even had to do kindergarten twice because of it. “She would sit in the circle with the other kids and be totally silent,” Stoermer said. Things have changed!
