Jonathan And Pete Ready To Be Roomies

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is reportedly set to move in with Pete Doherty.

The actor has become close friends with the troubled rocker, following the death of Jonathan's beloved mother last month, and the pair are now said to be hunting for a pad in east London together.

Jonathan - who plays Henry VIII in hit TV show "The Tudors" - was left homeless after ex-girlfriend Reena Hammer forced him to move out of her Camden home.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper, "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."

Jonathan and the Babyshambles front man - who recently completed a stint in rehab for drink and drug addiction - have 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. So he suggested Pete and Jonathan rent a place to help each other through their tough times. Jonathan thought it was a great idea and has started looking at flats in one block in east London. Pete thinks it's a great idea too."
