Guest was born in New York City, New York, the son of Jean Pauline Hindes, a former vice president of CBS, and Peter Haden-Guest, a British United Nations diplomat and member of the British House of Lords who later became 4th Baron Haden-Guest.[1] Nicholas Guest's maternal grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Russia,[2][3] while a paternal great-grandfather was Colonel Albert Goldsmid, an English Jew who founded the Jewish Lads' and Girls' Brigade.[4] Guest spent parts of his childhood in his father's native England. Although both of his parents were born Jewish, they became atheists and Guest had no religious upbringing.[2] He is the brother of Christopher Guest and brother-in-law of Jamie Lee Curtis.
Guest is heir presumptive to the title of Baron Haden-Guest in the British peerage. Were he to succeed to the barony, he would be the 6th Baron Haden-Guest.
