The Hairspray star has credited Scientology for helping him work through his grief, but as OK! has reported, he isn't looking for love right now.

"John's had no shortage of friends wanting to set him up and there are a lot of women who would love to go out with him," an insider shared. "John is flattered, but he just isn't interested."
