Travis Barker’s Son, Landon, Reveals He Has ‘Very Minor’ Tourettes Syndrome: ‘It Acts Up In Nervous Situations & Nerve-Wracking Environments’

Landon Barker, who is Travis Barker’s son, reveals that he has a neurological disorder. 

In a recently shared video, Landon Barker admits to his TikTok followers that he has Tourettes Syndrome but says his symptoms are “minor.”

“I’ve had it since I can remember, like pre-school. I remember exactly cause a teacher used to accuse me of rolling my eyes at her because one of my tics was like that. It was like a weird thing I did with my eyes.”

Also, in the video, Landon Barker demonstrates how his Tourettes Syndrome causes him to turn his head to the side or move his jaw in a rotating motion. 

“Yeah, it really acts up in nervous situations and nerve-wracking environments for me, but I thought I’d just share cause why not?”

According to the CDC, Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a condition of the nervous system that causes people to have tics. Tics are sudden twitches, movements, or sounds that people repeatedly do uncontrollably. For example, a person might keep blinking over and over, or make a grunting sound unwillingly.

Celebrities like singer Lewis Capaldi have brought more attention to the condition by opening up about their experience with TS. In a Netflix documentary, “How I’m Feeling Now,” Lewis Capaldi says TS first appeared as minor tics as a kid and has since worsened with age.

In the documentary, he says, 

“This twitch became out of control. I didn’t know what it was at the time. I’ve since learned that I have Tourette’s.”

The singer has made sure he keeps his fans up to date about the effects of tics on his body since revealing his diagnosis. While performing his closing song, “Someone You Loved,” at one of his concerts, the musician experienced a TS flare-up. As he struggled through the final chorus, his fans assisted him. 

Lewis Capaldi is one of many celebrities who speaks about TS. Billie Eilish, Seth Rogen, and other celebrities are also vocal about their experiences with the disorder.
