Actor Adam Campbell used to be adorable and twinky but I saw him on Great News recently and he was bug-eyed and wizened in the way that British men get from too much sun and smoking, but still oddly sexy.
What other jolie laide men are out there?

OP, please, recognize that the term for such men is "beau laid," not "jolie laid.," so you don't look so illiterate.
Most men in the category would be cited as having bdf, although the OP's example is not quite there (yet).
With women, it has been said that those seen jolie laide often are brunette or blonde but read "darker." But another, more useful consideration is that in such judgments "men act and women appear" (John Berger). The men who strike a viewer as beau laid appear to be men who are ready to take action in an unregarding, unselfconscious way. Men who are more effete, intellectual or slender/frail may be somewhat beau laid but carry a sense of aestheticism or indirection that may be sexy, but have a very different effect that the Belmondo types.
Cumberbatch often is seen as today's quintessential beau laid male, and he's a very rare example of a man who conveys action with intelligence, and has a big-dick face along with it all. He's beefed up somewhat, which has helped him retain attractiveness as he's aged.

I think Adam Campbell is much too hot to be "jolie laide."

Richard Boone
According to Maureen O'Hara, he and Peter Lawford were at an Australian male bordello when it was raided.

Adam's eyes were always like that. You don't get more "bug-eyed" with age - eyes are most prominent in young adulthood. I know beady eyes are trendy, but let's not act like they're a sign of youth.

R15 I find that hard to believe. I imagine Maureen would be too puritanical to know that such a thing exists.

Young Simon Pegg for me, circa Shaun of the Dead.

So much more eye-catching than the conventional beauties.

Jurgen Melzer. He kind of looks like a cross-country serial killer, but I find him attractive.
