Jennifer Lawrence poses in the press room at the 20th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on January 18, 2014 in Los Angeles, California. Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic by [Laura Stampler](https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/) ## Laura Stampler May 19, 2014 2:09 PM UTC Your best friend Dr. Jennifer Lawrence has found the cure for hiccups—securing her spot as the people’s star. A [_Vulture_ reporter witnessed](http://www.vulture.com/2014/05/cannes-jennifer-lawrence-shares-hiccup-cure.html) Lawrence’s hiccup treatment at a _Vanity Fair_ Cannes Film Festival party. The hiccuping actress told her non-hiccuping entourage, “Seriously, I need some water now… The only thing that ever works for getting rid of hiccups for me is when I drink water and raise my arms over my head and lower them _very_ slowly.” The reporter nervously watched Lawrence (note: being scared, another cure for the hiccups) for the two minutes it took for the actress to drain a water bottle and very, very slowly lower her arms. And… it worked. Thanks for your infinite wisdom J-Law. You can all go back to your work weeks now. \[[_Vulture_](http://www.vulture.com/2014/05/cannes-jennifer-lawrence-shares-hiccup-cure.html)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/104598/jennifer-lawrence-hiccups-cure/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/104598/jennifer-lawrence-hiccups-cure/"},"headline":"Jennifer Lawrence Found the Cure For the Hiccups","datePublished":"2014-05-19T14:09:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-07-21T07:15:16.434Z","description":"JLaw, what would we ever do without you?","url":"https://time.com/104598/jennifer-lawrence-hiccups-cure/","keywords":["Newsfeed","medicine","celebrities","Jennifer Lawrence","health","TIME 100","Cannes"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc69951b2dde4f788/698682f555a859f892a7f706/464142209.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc69951b2dde4f788/698682f555a859f892a7f706/464142209.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"20th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Press Room","caption":"20th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Press Room","creditText":"Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/104598/jennifer-lawrence-hiccups-cure/","name":"Jennifer Lawrence Found the Cure For the Hiccups"}}]}] ```
