Pete Doherty Learning To Waltz For Charlotte Gainsbourg Film

December 16, 2010
Pete Doherty Learning To Waltz For Charlotte Gainsbourg FilmPete Doherty has revealed that he is learning how to waltz in preparation for his appearance in a new French film.

The Babyshambles frontman is set to play the lead male role in Confession d’un Enfant du Siecle, which tells the story of the 19th-century writer Alfred De Mussett.

In a blog post, Doherty said: “My character must display natural grace and poise – as was expected of a young aristocrat and dandy of 1830′s French society.

“I was going to film the lesson, but it didn’t seem appropriate. The teacher was just as I had imagined – straight backed, horsewhip in hand, and a brutal perfectionist.”

The film, which also stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, is due to starting filming on December 27.
