Rhys-Meyers to move in with Pete Doherty?

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is set to become flatmates with Pete Doherty, according to reports.

The Daily Star has reported that the Irish actor has become close friends with the troubled frontman, following the death of Rhys-Meyers' mother last month, and the pair are now said to be hunting for a pad in east London together.

Rhys-Meyers, who is currently starring in 'August Rush', was left homeless last week after his ex-girlfriend Reena Hammer forced him to move out of her Camden home.

A source told Daily Star: "Jonathan's mother died last month, leaving him heartbroken. Then his girlfriend split with him, forcing him to move out of her north London apartment.

"Although Jonathan spends a lot of time filming in Los Angeles these days he still needs somewhere to stay while working in London. So when a mutual friend suggested he and Pete could get a flat together, Jonathan jumped at the chance."

Rhys-Meyers and the Babyshambles frontman, who recently completed a stint in rehab for drug addiction, have reportedly started looking at properties and sources believe they will be a good influence on each other.

One said: "Jonathan's friend knows that he has had a really rough time of it recently and that Pete has too."
