- Cohen has served as a legal representative to his co-star from The Goonies, Ke Huy Quan. He considers Cohen his Goonies brother.
- Got the chicken pox after he got the role of Chunk in The Goonies (1985). He showed up to the set anyway, afraid that they would have replaced him otherwise. To generate tears during his "confession" scene with the Fratellis, he thought of his mother dying.
- During a July 2021 Variety remembrance of Richard Donner after Donner's death, Jeff Cohen (whose most-recognized role is arguably Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen in The Goonies) revealed that the director of The Goonies, Richard Donner, and his wife, Lauren Shuler Donner, paid for Cohen's undergraduate college tuition.
- He was the President of the Associated Students of UC Berkeley and used to do the Truffle Shuffle on the sidelines during football games.
- It was fun being an actor, but by the time college rolled around, I was ready to try some new things. By the time I graduated, I realized I enjoyed having a normal life and I never went back.
- Anybody who says they intentionally give up acting is lying.
