"Love is such a powerful drug," she continued. "And when that's coursing through your system..."

The relationship didn't last, but Janney, who has never been married, is still looking. "I want to be a player!" Janney said. "I'm still single! I want to feel sexy and pretty and young as long as I can."

Janney's longtime friend and The Help costar Octavia Spencer opened up to the mag about Janney's transformation into a mature, sexy woman. Recalling an event they were both at in 2012, Spencer dished to Elle, "I'm walking to the table and I see this carved back in this backless dress. I'm like, 'Who's this bitch? And why is she at my table?' And as I got to the table, I'm like, 'Allison Janney? When did you get so hot? And why did you decide to wear a backless dress?'"

Spencer added, "The happier you are, the hotter the guys that are attracted to you. That's all I'm gonna say there."
