Belmondo was beyond "intelligent," he represented

209.165.0.232

(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).
