(in the 2 roles you listed) pure testerone and "cool.". He, consciously, "sampled" Bogart, Garfield, and Dean.
Intelligence is NOT the critical criterion in an actor, unless one is speaking of formal stage.
Pacino, De Niro, and Nicholson--do they strike you as particularly "intelligent?"
Belmondo will forever be remembered for several roles, in almost perfect films. It is impossible to think of another Frenchman who could have played these roles with such physical grace, such coolness.
(I remember reading he was also a circus performer in his youth).
Follow Ups:
You are right actors donīt need to be intelligent, and very few are. Are we intelligent?
I prefer the one who are.
Pure testerone and cool ? No better words would apply. And as I said before most European movies actors at that time were copying deseperately their US counterparts.
Pacino...De Niro ...God I can not stand them. In fact I have panic when I see them. It must be some kind of mental allergy.
As for Belmondo, he is not a good actor, no way. he had the luck to be cast in right ( for him ) roles. And meeting the right directors. But that is the way things happen, for all.
