Wet `...Spider-Man` mask was suffocating for Garfield

London: Actor Andrew Garfield, who plays Peter Parker in `The Amazing Spider-Man`, almost suffocated himself on the set of the movie as he did not learn proper breathing techniques required for the sequence."I had to get wet, and I just kind of dove in and did not realise that water on the mask made it impossible to breathe. So I was kind of, like, suffocating. I could not get any oxygen! I water-boarded myself," contactmusic.com quoted the 28-year-old as saying. His fight coordinator, Andy Armstrong, saw the actor struggling and jumped in to free him from the outfit. IANS
