8. Sacha Baron Cohen
Sacha Baron Cohen is a Jew through and through and it really comes as no surprise, given his name. His mother was born in Israel but is of German descent, technically making her a German Jew. Cohen’s father, on the other hand, is an Eastern European Jew who moved to the United Kingdom, where the young Cohen was born.
According to Times Online, he claims not to be a religious Jew, though he continues to observe the custom of kosher and attending synagogue twice a year. Incidentally, Baron Cohen’s wife Isla Fisherconverted to Judaism just so she could marry him.
