He's married to Creator/IslaFisher, with whom he has three children. He's also the younger brother of musician Erran Baron Cohen, with whom he frequently collaborates, as well as the cousin of neuroscientist Simon Baron Cohen.

The effectiveness of his comedy can be attributed to elements including his total commitment to his characters (such that he almost ''never'' breaks character) and his incredibly sharp improv skills. These elements combine to give his unsuspecting interview subjects the impression that they're sitting down with a real, incredibly idiotic person; sometimes, they may even mock him and joke at his expense, [[ObfuscatingStupidity unaware that the joke is really on them]]. If Creator/PeterSellers and Creator/AndyKaufman had a child, he would be it.[[note]]In fact, Baron Cohen credited Sellers as his greatest comedic influence; he also grew up a fan of Creator/MontyPython and Creator/PeterCook.[[/note]]
