Washington, July 31 -- Guy Ritchie has revealed that a character in his new film RocknRolla is inspired by Pete Doherty.

Ritchie's forthcoming film, due for release in September (08), has a character called Johnny Story (Toby Kebbell), who hangs out in a crack den in London.

Speaking to Empire magazine, Ritchie said that Kebbell's character is based on the Babyshambles frontman - whose shambolic lifestyle, drug addiction, court appearances, and love affair with supermodel Kate Moss have attracted acres of press coverage.
