Unrecognisable Pete Doherty performs in Paris with girlfriend Katia de Vidas
PETE Doherty looked unrecognisable as he performed in Paris with his girlfriend Katia de Vidas.
The former Babyshambles frontman, 42, appeared a far cry from his wild rocker days when he used to date supermodel Kate Moss.
Pete scrubbed up in a grey pinstriped suit as he performed at the Arenes de Lutece in Paris with his latest band Peter Doherty and the Puta Madres.
He wore a blue and white striped T-shirt underneath with a slouchy flat cap.
Fans did a double-take when they saw how dramatically different he now looks.
Pete has swapped his former hedonistic lifestyle in London for strolls in stunning Normandy where he now lives and where he has developed a passion for Comté cheese.
Pete, who once dated supermodel Kate Moss, swapped the UK for a quieter life in France with girlfriend and bandmate Katia.
He recently said how he enjoys “a nice glass of water”.
Pete also admitted that he would love some fast food — but there are no takeaway shops in the area of Normandy in which he lives.
He said: “I’d have a Big Mac if I could, but I can’t. The nearest McDonald’s is 40 minutes away.”

A source close to him said in March: “While lockdown has been tough for so many people, Pete is honestly the happiest he’s ever been.
“He used to live a fast-paced, hedonistic lifestyle. He was the epitome of rock and roll. But the relaxed pace of life suits him more.
“He and Katia have been spending time in Étretat, a coastal town popular with visiting Parisians.
“He still has a hand in music as that’s his number one passion, of course, but going to France has allowed him to relax.
