He looks cynical and smart/intelligent.
He looks cynical and smart.
He looks cynical and intelligent.
Do two sentences look weird? I googled. I found there is no line like those.
Hey, native English speakers!!!
Don't you say those sentences at all?

Hey there, Jonathan is right - it's unusual to describe someone as looking "cynical", as cynical is a behavior or attitude, not an appearance. It might be more natural to say something like:
"He was rather cynical, but seemed intelligent", or
"He looked smart, but had a cynical attitude".
Hope that helps!

"Cynical" is about personality or disposition. It's not usually used it to describe how a person looks.
