“I had to get wet, and I just kind of dove in and didn’t realize that water on the mask made it impossible to breathe. So I was kind of, like, suffocating. I couldn’t get any oxygen! I water-boarded myself.
He praise his fight coordinator Andy Armstrong’s quick thinking for diving in and removing the restrictive mask from his face.
