0To comment further, I find this an interesting sentence. If a guy is handsome and muscular, this would overwhelm any low self-esteem he might have. If for some reason, you feel he has low-self esteem, you'd have to explain this, as it would not be believable to people. For example:
He was handsome and muscular, but I seemed to detect hints of low self-esteem in him.
