Pete Doherty Takes Up Ballroom Dancing

02/07/2011
. (Gibson) Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty has been taking ballroom dancing lessons as practice for his performance in French period piece Confession d'un enfant du si�cle, in which he'll play 19th century poet Alfred de Musset.

Doherty has blogged frequently about the role on his website, saying, "Today I had my first waltz lesson, in preparation for the forthcoming film: Confession d'un enfant du siecle. My character must display natural grace and poise � as was expected of a young aristocrat and dandy of 1830s 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. What a day!" more on this story
